Reggaebass

This one looks rather cool 🙂

@Al Krow if you want to watch a few reggae vids , Alain M , has some really good ones on his YouTube channel, he’s also the bass player in a Belgium reggae band called Asham 🙂

Hi Al ,there really is quite a lot out there but, my personal favourite and who’s playing inspired me the most from a young age is Robbie Shakespeare (sly and Robbie), and also I don’t think you can beat Aston Barrett for a truly superb reggae Bassline 🙂

Ganja smuggling is one of my favourite eek a mouse tunes , the Bassline just sits in the mix so good, and to mix it up with, here I come sounds great .

I’ve forgot to unplug mine a few times , and it has drained the battery 🙂

Love it, you don’t see many around in that condition now 👍

I’ve always liked the Ashdown drophead , quite a classic for me 🙂

I watched it and thought it was quite good, especially the very early footage of Bob Marley 🙂

That’s a nice wide range of music you play there tauzero, and the barn dance sounds especially fun 🙂

Same for me, also sly and Robbie and Gregory isaacs , I knew all the basslines because I listened to them all every day , to and from work, on my Sony walkman 😀

I recognise those lyrics 😁

For any reggae fans, there’s a programme on bbc4 tonight at 9.30 called Studio 17 the lost reggae tapes .🙂 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00095ky

Thank you, I’ve never heard of it either 🙂

Cool, let us know how it goes 👍

It could be just the residue left from the manufacture, I had this once with a set of fender flats , I cleaned them with the little alcohol wipes which evaporate , and they were fine 🙂

If it’s the 760FL (43/60/82/104) I’ve got those on 3 of my jazzes, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed 🙂

Very nice Raslee , I look forward to hearing your opinion , it looks great 🙂

There’s a bit of info in the sandberg thread , which has the string lengths as well 👍

100s , if you’re near me you’re welcome to try mine 🙂

Hi Double O, I don’t really have the kit to record at home and the phone wouldn’t do them justice, but as silvia bluejay says, they are very different to the fender flats , they are a lower tension , but not floppy at all ,and they have a warmer tone , for me they just felt right , I would recommend them for the sandberg, they are the right gauge for the nut too 🙂.

I’ve got the la bella low tension flats on my sandberg TT , I find the sound and the feel is absolutely spot on.

IMO, I would recommend you buy it, clean it up and re string it , it will be fun to play and you won’t lose any money 🙂

Ah really, I didn’t know that, thanks for the info 👍

That is superb Dave , I’ve heard it before but I don’t know where 🙂

I heard this today, it couldn’t be farther away from what I play , but I love the Bassline, it really drives the song along, i used to play blues but I’ve never tried country, I’m adding it to my list 😁
