For me it was Natural Mystic-Bob Marley, it wasn’t technically difficult but the first time I heard that smooth deep bass start to fade in I just had to play it, I went on to learn the whole Exodus album, that was many years ago and I still play those tracks now , timeless songs

Loving that, I’ve never heard it before, great Bassline

Just had a look and I think you’re right, Phil King

Apparently Felt were an English jangle pop band, formed in 1979, don’t know what jangle is though

I’ve seen Shed and Buried, not sure if that counts 🤔

Here’s the video, you might be able to see if it’s a clear pickguard, I think it might be coloured to match the body but not sure

Ah yeah, I see what you’re saying, didn’t think of that

@Bass Novice I got a shot of a nice jazz bass from a video I was watching, the pickguard matches the body, I wouldn’t mind this

Loving this

I’d say most people probably wouldn’t know any

Yeah I thought that too , slightly different font but the same date stamp

Didn’t the other one have a rosewood board

Welcome Graffspree

Why do I always have to look when I see ‘nothing to see here’ 😁

On some Mikey Dread today , I like the driving Bassline on this, it’s a good one to play , and the jingle at the beginning I’m sure used to be on the Rodigan show or maybe from Tony Williams Reggae Rockers

Hi Bef, although I’m pretty much a fender jazz and precision guy I can recommend having a look through the Yamaha range, I’ve got a 5 string and a 4 , the build quality is very good and range of tones you can get I’d say would cover anything you wanted to play , reasonably priced too

Don’t really know many by status quo or guns n roses except what was in the charts, but anything by Springsteen especially Born in the USA has to go off

Not sure if I’ve mentioned it ,but if anything by Robbie Williams, will young or James Arthur comes on I have to switch channel, and a rather irritating song came on the radio today that I wouldn’t want to hear again called ,You Can Call Me Al 😬

Well that was like one of the best slide shows I’ve seen, amazing amount of lovely basses, I’ve probably had around 50 jazzes and precision’s but not the amount of variety you’ve had, lovely

Don’t really know much about recording consoles but this looks really cool, according to the info it’s been used on so many famous reggae tracks and albums and came from Harry J's in Jamaica , check out the list , quite a part of history https://search.app/NiVfRUKLSc5D8BGg6

I saw that one, very nice and I’d say probably one of the best he’s had , it’s in great condition, I’m seriously attracted to this and might have to have a chat with Andy https://www.andybaxterbass.com/products/1968-fender-precision-bass-sunburst-2

I’m similar with early jazzes and precision’s, I’ve studied them in great detail to quite a nerdy boring degree 😁, I find them fascinating, and the strange thing is that whenever I’m buying one I always ask a few people to take a look and give me their opinions and they always notice something that that I’ve missed , talkbass can be a good source of information too but I don’t visit there much these days

If you remember Creation Rebel you will love this with Adrian Sherwood, unfortunately I wasn’t there, I would have liked to even just to see Kenton Brown play, heavy bass, @Frank Blank I think you might like some of this
