The neck could be genuine looking at the tuners and the plate dates it to 73

Been learning this one the last few days, it’s Robbie Shakespeare off the album Uhuru in Dub, great Bassline

I still chat with him now and again but haven’t heard from him in a little while, I’m sure he’s fine and just doing family things

A new one from Samsara collective, a pink Floyd tune, I’m really liking this from 3.37 where it goes dubwise , what do you think about it?

I like them both really ,but for the type of music you was playing the Sandberg has the edge for me, and nice playing

Congratulations Hz, really nice

They don’t really get many basses but it’s always worth just checking them out now and again

It was a shop called Folkies music in Kilburn

I suppose it depends on the provenance and if you’re a fan of the band or previous owner, about 2 years ago I tried to buy this one but it was about £1000 overpriced because it had been used in the studio by K.K Downing of Judas Priest, I hadn’t really heard of him myself but the shop would not come down and it sold eventually

That’s expensive for a 78 imo

If it was closer to me I would have gone and had a look, looks like it’s near Liverpool , might be a good buy for someone

I’m mainly a jazz bass man but I’ve had quite a few precisions over the last couple of years and the necks vary so much, my 71 is 40mm nut and very slim front to back which is nothing like the reissues, shame they didn’t copy those, I’ve recently bought a AVRI 62 P which has the 44mm nut but it’s very slim front to back, you might like them Linus, I haven’t got a 57 but here is the spec for a US one , Body Material: Alder Body Details: Solid alder body Neck Material: Maple Fingerboard Material: Maple Neck Profile: Medium "C" Neck Thickness (IN): 1st- .81" 12th- .94" Fingerboard Radius: 7.25" Nut Width: 1-3/4" Scale Length: 34" Neck Details: Maple neck with unbound maple fingerboard Electronics: Original; Fender pickup, master volume, master tone Weight: 8lbs 14oz

Yeah everything they list is massively overpriced, they are kinda known for it, worth a try I suppose 🤷‍♂️

Nice one, just had a quick flick through the tracks and they sound good, best of luck ☝️

I’ve found myself having to play this one every now and again recently

Great one, thanks johncee, yeah he’s still going strong and doing good for a 78 year old

Really back into my pablo lately, one of his lesser known pieces, sweet tune

Glory Dub, Flabba holding down a nice Bassline here , great production

Nice one I’ll check that out , cheers

Some of that African chill music is really good

Not my thing but I’d say she’s not miming
