He’s an amazing recording engineer, I remember him well mainly from the 80s , I was involved in dub sound systems and many of his tunes were used then , usually very heavy basslines
I just thought I’d share this version of Poor man style , and at 5.11 it’s barrington Levy ,which he released around 1982, he’s always been top of my list for vocals, such a cool tune and a really nice Bassline to play.
I started taking bass theory more serious about 4 years ago, and the more I learned the more things started to make sense , and it’s now part of my practice routine in one form or another, imo @thebigyin it’s time well spent .
Hi Dunk, welcome, i too recently spoke to mark about a jazz build and was told it would be about 16 weeks, I don’t think I can wait that long 😁, so I’m hoping to get one sooner if I can, I’ll look forward to seeing yours when it’s done 👍
Yeah good, I really like the muted sound sometimes and I’ve always used foam under the strings , and still do on a few other basses, but the good thing about the bassmute is with just a flick of the lever you can have 3 types of mute from light to full on , or completely off .
I did both, I put one of my favourite jazz necks on an old P body I really like , and fitted a tonerider pickup with a kiogon loom , and with Labella LTF’s , it sounds great. But normally I’m jazz all the way 🙂
I don’t know why people remove the logo and replace it with a fender one, I’ve got a tokai jazz and someone had done the same thing, it didn’t bother me too much because it is such a nice playing jazz , mine has the same string tree and tuners and is a sparkle finish, but the hardware on the OP’s one is different to mine.
The fine sponge pads will take a slight edge off the gloss ,but it will dull the finish very slightly, we use them in the spray shop in between lacquer coats.
