Reggaebass

Hi Piers, for me and pretty much in general the bass is the key and upfront instrument together with the drums (check out sly and Robbie), I can recommend having a look at Don Chandler’s videos if you haven’t seen them , he’s played with many of the top reggae artists over the years and gives some very good advice for all levels of players, he breaks down some nice basslines too, he’s the first person I contact when I need to know something, you can also download the backing tracks and tab sometimes if you look in the descriptions, I’ll put a video up to show you his channel

I saw it not long after it came out and to be honest I wasn’t expecting much, but I was quite surprised how good it was, I already knew quite a lot about him but the attention to detail of the storyline was really good, even down to Aston Barrett’s jazz bass, I’d definitely watch it again

Can’t say I know that much about him, the video above looks ok to me and I like Ian Allison , Charles seems a nice guy and a good player, I don’t really watch the so called showboating stuff, good luck to him if he’s making a living out of playing bass

One of my all time favourite tunes, I remember when it came out , great one

Hi Jotto, i can’t say I do, but this track I kinda recognise, not sure where from

I had these TM 115’s deep , they really are a good cab, very nice of you to offer this grat, good luck

Thanks for that info fretmeister, I didn’t know all that, pretty naughty really

same here I’m not able to to make that one either , great line up and Channel One Sound System , that will be a great event

I didn’t know anything about the interviewer and never heard of him, I’m more interested in watching and listening to Freddy talk and do his thing

Hi, can you see if it’s been rounded off and have you tried a bigger Allen key

Great one, thanks t-h , stop that train has to be in my top ten tunes, I like this too, can’t work out who’s on bass

Sorry jazzy I’ve no experience of this either so I can’t really help you there, great rig my friend

Not you sir 😁, some people can’t take the bass

Hi Fraser, I never found the headphone switch very good on mine, it never sounded clear and used to stick occasionally, I had Dave green remove mine, I think really you need to put it through a cab to check it out properly, good luck

My son sent me this on Spotify but I found it here, I’m sure you’ll remember Black Slate, good tune really liking the Bassline and I’ve been going through all of Channel One sound system videos lately ,and Luc As has some great ones on his channel if you like that kind of stuff

UB40 is a bit like this for me, their first album Signing off was superb for its time, and I like Kingston town as much as the original, impossible love is another I like to play, Earl Falconer is a great player imo , but there’s also a lot of tracks that I struggle to listen to, especially since they parted ways and there’s effectively 2 bands

Hope it gets found, I’d keep checking gumtree and Shpock and such like places

From the neighbours 😁

Great setup

one of my stack knob jazzes was a bit bright sounding so kiogon rewired it for me and fitted the 0.1uF cap, it made a big difference for me and sounds great

I’ve only ever bought and sold face to face with gumtree and Shpock, there is no cover at all as far as I know, but to answer mick , If you feel it will do some good naming then I can’t see a problem, good luck

I had lessons for it during my short period of wanting to learn some slap lines, Freddie makes it look so easy, I wouldn’t expose anyone to my version, it wouldn’t be fair on their ears 😁

What a great guy and a wonderful player, he plays so effortlessly especially on forget me nots , which I don’t think is easy to play

Another one to maybe give a watch is my friend don talking about how he gets his reggae tone
