Reggaebass

I skipped through the tracks and I’m afraid it’s not a bit of me, but I can see how a ramone/ reggae fan might like it 🙂, didn’t the clash have a reggae album

Welcome Natalie 👍

Getting a bit confusing now, my Ampeg has 2,4 and 8 ohm outlets which covers most cabs I would think, including my BB2 which is 8 ohm, but if I got another Ampeg with only 2 or 4 options I’m not sure I would trust them matching now

Came across this while watching a review on a 59 P bass,

The new one from Alain M, 25 reggae basslines part 2, he’s the bass player in Asham Band in Belgium , great player , now to name them all

Looks like a mid - late 70s case looking at the ,made in USA under the fender badge, and the headstock decal is nothing I’ve ever seen before , maybe changed when it was refinished , and all the 60s ones I’ve seen were 44mm nut width, be interesting to see the neck date which should be pencil

An early one from the Gladiators, nice Bassline and I’m pretty sure it was Clinton fearon on bass then

From 77 to around 84 was a big time for the reggae and dub scene , not just for me but the whole genre , I was still at school in 77 , so many great tunes were recorded then and are still being mixed and covered today, good times ☝️

Nice one t-h , I was listening to the original of guess who’s coming to dinner today by Michael Rose before it was recorded with sly and Robbie, titled Dreadlocks coming to dinner

Welcome Mike

I read somewhere that the fan is also loud, did you notice that at all

Crocs and socks are a good image 😁

Thanks for that, it’s probably difficult to know how much if any damage has been done, it’s about an hour away from me, I don’t think I’ll bother, they do look pretty cool though

What would one normally go for

Bassbros have got some nice precisions in at the moment , 76, 77 ,79

This was a grimy fretboard on a bass I bought, I used alcohol wipes to clean it which worked very good, and lemon oil to restore and condition it after

Clean your bass.. what is this talk 😁

Just reviving this as I really like this colour , it’s a fender custom shop and they call it Dirty Shell Pink, crazy price though it’s in Japan

I don’t have any rounds at all but I’ve got D’addario half rounds on my Yamaha, they have very little finger noise and feel good to me because I’m used to flats and they are pretty bright, but I’d also say they have good lows, I play heavy reggae and dub and they certainly don’t lack any bass, I can’t comment on any of the others as I haven’t tried them

Cool, looking good 👍

No, no names, only all fenders

Good one, nice bassline 👍

Love it, an immense setup
