Reggaebass

Nice one from Johnny Osborne , ringcraft, Flabba sounding good at 6.40

I’ve successfully shimmed my basses before because I play with a really low action, I do the same as Acebassmusic, a strip of business card should be well enough, it’s surprising what difference it makes, I’d try that first squire5

This is a good site I use for information http://www.guitarhq.com/fender.html#serial

There’s a sound sample and a few closer shots, looks nice

I can’t see any problem in giving out the serial number, I’d give mine if I was selling them, most of the time it’s in the picture Of the back of the amp, depending what amp it is

I was looking up Jason Arthur Welsh bass player after listening to a track earlier, and he played on these 2, really good player and nice Basslines and this really sounds like old school Aswad and steel Pulse with Brinsley Ford

I saw that and I think I’ve seen it before somewhere, I remember the wear just above the pickguard, looks great

Nice amps and basses, I don’t blame you for not taking it back to that guy, have you had a look through here to see if there’s anyone near you

No idea nige, it’s not correct for a 65 and it’s one I’ve never seen on anything ever before, very strange

What a great review, throughly enjoyed reading that JG

Hi Mike, good to have you here, quite difficult to say really because there’s a whole world of reggae out there and lots of different styles, depends what you like, there’s a Spotify playlist of some of the songs here you might like to listen to some of my favourites are black Uhuru barrington levy Roots Radics (Flabba Holt) and I can definitely recommend Sly and Robbie

listening to some Delroy Wilson

That’s the one I’ve always known, the other one is very strange, but I just found it interesting that it’s a logo I’ve never seen before on anything

Anyone ever seen a logo like this on a 65 L serial number Jazz , I’ve never seen it before

That’s a real shame ,I think whatever option you choose you are going to have to remove the paint to make it playable, as much as I don’t like refinishes I would probably go down that path, good luck Bassman

Another one that I really like is this

Same for me really, i grew up with reggae but always had a soft spot for funky stuff , it has to be done now and again

Bit funky tonight

Sly and Robbie 😉

Welcome Robbo

I’d never heard of them up to a couple of years ago, really good band and some nice basslines

Have you enquired at any local upholstery companies Guy, I tried sourcing the lining once for a couple of mine and couldn’t find anywhere that supplied anything close

That looks good, and not expensive either, unfortunately I’ll be away

I do like Horace Andy, he still sounds great after all this time, I was only listening to this yesterday , it was recorded around 2006 with Robbie Shakespeare

Welcome Dave
