Reggaebass

Thanks mangotango, This is what I’m thinking, because I’ve only ever played reggae for 35+ years , and I’m really enjoying playing different genres, if it’s got a good Bassline that I like, I’ll have a go. I’m liking quite a lot of pink Floyd bass too ,that Roger Waters is a bit good 🙂

I was going to transcribe it by ear , but that makes things easier, thanks very much for that 👍👍

Top man Frank, cheers ☝️

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 👍
