  1. Think you’ll find 68 was the year they changed from C to B neck, but I have seen some 67s , so 67/68
  2. What no massive valve amp with trouser flapping cabs, never 😁
  3. Can’t see anything wrong with what you’re doing, adding ghost notes adds to the overall Bassline I think, I work on those a lot and try to add them in the right places, as for fills I don’t do that, playing reggae is a lot about leaving space as it’s just as important as the right notes, if I was to fill that space it gets too busy, but after all playing with feel is what it’s all about
  4. I’ve been researching all my favourite reggae bass players lately and came across this good interview with Jackie Jackson, really humble guy
  5. Really good tune that, liking the keyboards, I’ll check them out , thanks
  6. I saw them back in the day, is it the original members still
  7. Neither of those are for through body stringing, the ones that are have a -TB after the string number like this, 760FS-TB Deep Talkin’ Bass Flats – Standard 45-105, Thru-Body. as far as I know labella only do 2, that’s the ones with TB and LTF’s , I know people have done this with others before but there’s a chance the string could snap
  8. Just a thought but doesn’t the neck need all strings on to keep it stable/straight and stop it twisting ?, I would just ignore the other string and play it like a 4
  9. Found a pic rob, they play quite good really, especially the P pickup
  10. It’s a 70s -80s kay , I’ve got one and a few others here 👍
  11. Yeah I know what you mean, I’ve played this and it’s quite a driving Bassline behind the song, Ranchie McLean isn’t it in that video, I’ve also seen Robbie Shakespeare on some credits before , not sure if he also played on the album
  12. Two great tracks there, welcome to jamrock is imo the best one Damien ever did, definitely in my top 10 favourite tunes, one step forward is a great Bassline to play, pretty sure Boris Gardiner played that on the album with the Upsetters
  13. Looks like a kay cort 70-80s to me
  14. That doesn’t sound long for 35 songs, I’d struggle with that, good luck it all sounds good 👍
  15. Have you tried just adjusting the bridge saddles up a bit before you do anything else to see if it makes any difference
  16. Just to catch up here, when you fret single notes on your bass do they all buzz on all strings
  17. That’s a good one, I’ve played that quite a few times, mikey Craig is a great player, another one i like is this
