I don’t know much about that sort of thing but does that mean the pickup would need to be rewound

Hi, welcome

I don’t think it had any red originally, didn’t they do a tobacco burst back then

Hi ,mark at Talkingbass.net would be my recommendation too , good luck Paul just to add, Dan Hawkins has some very good material to look through too

I saw that, you would have thought they would have fixed it before listing, unless they wanted to keep it all original by not changing anything?

Thanks for sharing, I remember when that came out, such a great bassline to play, it’s been posted before but this is one of my favourite videos

Thanks t-h ill check that out

Welcome Jazzy

I’ve always really liked this but never got around to learning it properly , I’m having to break it down slowly into small sections as it moves around quite a bit , great Bassline though

No problem Myke, thank you for doing this in the first place 🙏

Lovely

Great one, haven’t heard that in a long time, I think the album I remember the most from back then is Handsworth Revolution, and probably one of their most known tracks is this, Prediction is a good one too

Back to 1980 tonight with this one, it was in the uk charts

As much as you try and convince me.. I’m not buying the album 😁

I heard that shaking stevens at pontins was busy

Some of may know Johnny Osbourne, he’s recently released a new album and is still touring and still sounds great aged 75 , if you’ve still got it then don’t stop

I was just going to ask the same question 😁, it looks good but he won’t post it, good luck

Always use 2 alternating, I’ve never played anything fast enough to have to use 3

Nice work, this should be pinned somehow for future reference

Hi eloisa and welcome, thanks for sharing that , great Bassline there, nice tune

I played precision’s first for a long time and then got hooked on jazzes for many years, I’m now back to precision’s for 2 reasons, 1 , i like the simplicity and 2 , I really like the sound, if I’m after a smoother deeper sound I use the jazzes, I think it’s good to have both, I don’t have much experience with squire , maybe try some US ones and see what you think

Thanks Rich and itu 🙏, I have so many but I’m going to pick 3 off the top of my head which are different in their own ways , one from Flabba Holt with Johnny osbourne, from 3.25 you can hear the Bassline more isolated, the timing ,note lengths and space changes are so good and one from Robbie Shakespeare from one of the later albums Love Restart, the whole album is really good I would recommend it, some really nice Basslines and one from Clinton fearon who was in the gladiators and is a good bass player himself , Mato Cirade a reggae bass player from France plays for him now , this is a good one to play and not quite as easy as it might look, I could go on and on 😁, hope you enjoy
