Reggaebass

I bought a Yamaha 415 last year, 1 to try a 5 string , and 2 to try a Yamaha, and for me the notes were the easy part because I know my fretboard, but at first I regularly hit the wrong string, especially if the Bassline involved quite a bit of string crossing , it took a lot of practice to rectify it . Imo, the best thing to do would be to put the 4 away and just use the 5 until you’re happy with your playing, and then you can switch between them whenever you want 🙂

Spider bass does a good cover of uptown funk here 🙂

Yeah sure ☝️

Hi and welcome, you might be better posting your videos here 👍

There’s a video here by Josh fossgreen you may find helpful , I’ve also got a good one on intervals, I’ll try to find it 🙂

My bass room has the tumble dryer in and miss RB also on occasions puts the clothes drying rail in there in bad weather, I’ve got 8 basses around with another 6 in cases , and all my equipment, everything has been fine for years , the tumble dryer is a condensing one, so no moisture goes into the air 🙂

Very nice, top job, really nice grain on the neck ☝️

Before I bought my custom I played about 6 or 7 of them in PMT , and the thing I noticed most was how nice the necks were to play, that was the selling point for me , which one did you get Andy 🙂

2 quick grip clamps on the side edge of the neck , one at the top and one at the bottom would locate the fingerboard, and stop it moving from side to side , this type

I’m following this with interest, Theres some really great advice here , @stewblack whatever you decide to do, if you need a router to do the work, I’ll post one to you with the cutters , and return it whenever you want 👍

Congrats on your new bass, any pics 🙂, When you say it sounds slappy and metallic, is it buzzing on the upper frets when you fret the notes or is the actual sound metallic.

I’ve only played it once after hearing it on the radio, it’s such a cool Bassline, definitely a great one to learn 🙂

This one sounds like the most accurate to me, by our very own Constantine 🙂.

I’ve looked at premium, do you think it’s worth it.

I follow Wobass on YT, she is a bass player from France who plays a lot of reggae, and she posted this today 🙂

Yeah, me too Raslee ☝️

A great mix here from Pablo with Jacob Miller

I’ve been tempted a few times by the cheaper necks from China, but never tried them, I quite like this one . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143570655749

I browse this channel now and again, it’s students bass covers , this is funky and such great playing 🙂

You’re welcome 👍

I’ve never done it but if you click the pen in your profile it opens up a page to turn on status updates , I think 🙂
