Reggaebass

About 6 or 7 have come and gone but my best purchase this year has to be my Sandberg California TT custom, after a few emails holger got it spot on , ash body, ebony fingerboard and no fret markers , black hardware, and the action is 1mm at the 12th fret , super low , now fitted with labella LTFs 🙂.  Next on the list is a limelight.

I really like Normans playing, I see them back in the day, they were great, and he also played an Alembic 🙂

USA P body, Seymour Duncan APB-1, high mass bridge, hipshot ultralites and drop D tuner, Status Jazz Neck - all out rock machine.

This is my favourite of your basses cuzzie 🙂

Not sure if this helps ,and I know nothing about electronics but, Kiogon made me a control setup for one of my jazzes which sounds very similar to my P ,  he completely rewired it and changed the caps , it transformed the sound.   I’m sure it can be done without getting the router out 🙂

Last week the reggae guys talked about reforming (covers) which is exciting

That sounds great Raslee, keep us posted on how it goes ☝️.  I’ve always played reggae and dub since I was 15 , I’m 55 now and still love it , but I think I need to broaden my music a bit 🙂

After listening to this tune that @Bassfinger posted in another thread, I’ve added it to my , music I wouldn’t normally play,    playlist , I’ve never heard it before and it’s such a nice laidback Bassline , thanks bassfinger 🙂 

Mansfield telecaster 

Actually this looks more like it  🙂. https://images.app.goo.gl/Wv4ERoDr3rPgFAik7

It’s a Jedson shape body, but the headstock looks different , I’ve got one, it was my first bass in 1977  🙂

This is my little beauty. Body and neck Limelight, House Of Tone Custom Jazz Pups and wiring loom, Fender Branded tuners and celluloid aged scratch plate. Literally the best jazz I have ever owned/ever will own. Just ticks every box. 

This just looks so cool, I think I need one of these 🙂

You don’t hear this tune very often, I was playing the album today, classic reggae Bassline 🙂

Ah sorry, I’ve just seen another thread 🙂

Hi , I cannot see any pics 🙂

Or these guys too https://restauracja-gitar.pl/basy/ - nitro refinished and/or reliced MIJ/CIJ Fender Reissues for the price of a Mex. In most cases a little cheaper than Limelight but possibly a little less flexible. However, all genuine Fenders just refinished, so keeps the “why does it have a Fender decal?” crew quiet.

I’ve never heard of these before, that buzz hornet #87 looks well nice 🙂

That’s one cool looking bass ☝️Could it be  cherry burst ?

Nice job,it looks great,   thanks for sharing, I was going to have a go at installing one of these myself 🙂

This has to be one of my favourite simple but great basslines , 🙂

It doesn’t get a lot simpler, nor effective, than this. One note, on the beat. What a groove...

 

...sampled incidentally from this:

 

Great tune, I haven’t heard that in years 🙂

How about a wardrobe guitar hanger?

That’s a good idea because a suit hold-all would fit completely over it 🙂

Is the Burbury compulsory or can non-Chavs use it too?

It’s Burberry, to match my bass 😁

+1 for O’Keefe’s, but I tend to use Bepanthen which is a nappy rash cream. I dunno what it’s got in it, but it must be something akin to Pixie Dust - it’s that good!

Sudocrem , is also very good for minor skin problems. 

I fit medical equipment for the Nhs , so I’m constantly washing my hands or using wipes which dries your skin and causes splitting, as Cato says, O keeffes cream is great , and I use this , it moisturises but it’s not greasy 🙂
