Don’t know if it’s of any interest to you Twigman but this has just come up on reverb, nothing to do with me,

Great work, I enjoyed that

😁, not forgetting the harmony hairspray

I remember Brut ,and Old spice was the nicer one I think, but if you really wanted to impress then it had to be Hai Karate or Paco Rabanne 😁

If it helps I’m not seeing any ads on iPad or iPhone

I haven’t had that advert for quite a while, on iPad

Some Damien Marley today

I’d have my fender elite over any of those , I suppose we all like different things 🙂

I’m pretty much a jazz and precision player now, I’ve had so many jazzes from Mexican to custom shop, I know they aren’t new but one of the best ones I’ve got now is the American jazz elite, they are passive and active and are amazing quality, i like them so much that I’m looking for another at the moment in black, it’s just a suggestion but try one out if you can , the American Ultra is another I’d recommend trying

Very nice, , looks good in the faded green

Thanks Myke, yeah the sax is great isn’t it, I went through a lot of her stuff and there’s 2 I really like, one is the one above and the other is Bad Guy

You might like this one with Zeeteah, Don is on bass, great Bassline

He’s the best teacher out there myke, and a great player

Hi , can I ask in way was your E string different from the others

Just bought some strings from David ,it was an absolute pleasure to deal with him, great communication and quick delivery, top man, thank you very much, Tony

There’s a bit of a story about that one if anyone is interested, it was one of Aston Barrett’s early basses originally ,and when he started touring with the wailers he gave it to Robbie, Robbie thinks he might have played the Hofner on the Wailers Concrete Jungle recording

Personally I’d just pay the return postage, mark it down to experience and get looking for another bass

This is a few years later, if you like that style you might like this

That’s a disappointing response, maybe point them towards this thread where experienced bass players are mostly in agreement that it’s not acceptable , really hope you can get this sorted

That would be a bit too much of a mismatch for me to accept, I think they need to do a more in-depth search to find you one more matching from their stock, you need to be happy with after all or you’ll always be looking , good luck

Thanks rao, that’s a very early one by lee Perry, probably around the same time as Long shot by the Pioneers , actually I just found this, In 1968, reggae pioneer Lee “Scratch” Perry launched his first record label, Upset Records, with the single “People Funny Boy

I remember first seeing third world back in the day and was absolutely blown away with them, great band and 96 degrees in the shade is a classic

The Johnny Osbourne album Truths And Rights has some organ , not sure if it’s a Hammond , at the beginning and at 2.43 onwards

Really good to hear this Linus, once you start exploring and listening to the different types and styles you’ll probably find what artists appeal to you, sly and Robbie have some wonderful songs , they did an album the best of 1978-1985 which is worth a listen, I guarantee you won’t be able to resist picking up your bass to some of Robbie’s basslines, I’d also recommend checking out Flabba Holt who is the bass player with Roots Radics , different style of playing to Robbie, they backed Gregory Isaac’s for years and many other artists, and as some have mentioned There’s plenty of listening on the reggae thread,

Ive heard of talking heads but I don’t think I’ve heard that one, I’m finding it better to fret the A rather than using the open A like I’ve seen in some covers, nice Bassline
