That’s interesting frank, I couldn’t see anything on samsara’s home page, I’d like to see them 🙂

Top tune 🙂

Great story Tim , that’s quite a claim to fame 👍

I’ve always played a 4 , but I bought my first 5er earlier this year, it took me a while to get used to the extra string , but when I did I totally understood why people play 5s , it’s so much less effort going across the fretboard as opposed to up and down, but the thing is, I Like playing up and down the neck. I enjoy having both 🙂. If you really like it, go for it ☝️

I happened to hear this a while ago, I remembered it was out when I was 14 in about 1978 ,and I liked it then, I’ve never played it before, so I’m looking forward to nailing this one , listening to it, it seems fairly straightforward, it’s such a great tune and a nice heavy Bassline which I like . Are any of his others anything like this 🙂

It’s a great tune, and I remember the video , 1983 🙂

I don’t normally play this but I quite like ZZ top, I didn’t count, I just got with the rhythm 🙂

No Bass 😧, what kinda song is that! 😁

I’m sure someone will be along soon to advise on the electronics, there’s some pretty knowledgeable people here 🙂

I always wear a strap while I’m sitting practicing which is set at the same length as when I’m standing, so really my playing position stays the same, also a while ago I picked up my Sandberg without the strap and it slipped off my tracksuit bottoms and broke the jack plug on the lead , luckily the bass didn’t have a mark on it, so now I always remember wear it 🙂

Gimme all your lovin , and, Sharp dressed man - ZZ Top btw , great thread MacDaddy☝️

It’s a nice bass and I could live without the headstock decal , but removing the ramp will definitely leave noticeable holes in the body, which for me would be a no. I would wait for the right one that you’re happy with 🙂

I can’t say I’ve ever seen one of those before, but that’s one really nice bass , I like the control layout too 🙂

Me too 😁

Nice setup stew , there’s some serious bass there 🙂

Always 😉😂

Tres Bon , such a cool amp , congrats on getting it back ☝️

Nice job @DoubleOhStephan , just a suggestion, you could put something like this on the bottom rails to protect the basses 🙂https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F352791951255

Really nice playing here from Danny Morris , the flats on his bass are over 15 years old and his muting , timing , and playing just behind the beat in places is superb .

Great tune, absolute classic ☝️

That’s a nice groove 👍

Good video here of ziggy Marley in New Orleans, one of my favourite Marley basslines 🙂

If Robbie Shakespeare wasn’t available, it would be my dream to play any Black Uhuru song, with sly Dunbar, who in my opinion is the best reggae drummer ever, the headline would read , Sly & Tony 😀

I might have guessed he had something to do with it 😁
