Reggaebass

My 71 P is fine and it’s not leaving me any time soon, but if it needed it I would get it done , I’ve no idea of the cost though but worth looking into I think 🙂

Yeah lovely, there’s obviously some history there and you need it playable, maybe just strip and a light coat of lacquer

I’m not an expert but if that was mine I think I would have to go with a strip and re lacquer as that is the way it was, I’m pretty sure on a 78 the headstock logo is under the lacquer so you can leave that untouched, any pics of the whole bass 🙂

Hi , if you click the quote at the bottom of the post it will reply to that post If you want to talk to someone privately you can send them a private message by clicking on their avatar/profile and there’s an envelope to select 👍 Definitely, I’d always used 15’s and 18’s in the early days to get the deep bass ,and was really sceptical about dropping to a 12in speaker but it really does work, I’m not bothered by weight but the barefaced cabs are super light, I can’t see myself changing anything except maybe adding another one if ever I need it

They got some great basslines

Always used to like dropping the Rappers Delight Bassline now and again

I used to use markbass 15’s but the BB is much better imo , at 8.20 don mentions the ninja here

Hi Marcus, I use the barefaced big baby ll cab , I would highly recommend it , it’s got really deep clear lows perfect for reggae and dub , with an ashdown RM or my ampeg V4B, it was don chandler who put me on on to the BB , he uses 2 of them with the 1000w markbass ninja head

Looks great, glad they found it for you, I’ve had a few sandberg’s , they are further back in the thread but never tried the electra, how does it sound

Thanks DG 👍

Do all the SVT’s have a fan

Love that one T-h ☝️, trinity is one of my favourite artists , decent sound on this

To some solid bass groove

I’m used to heavy bass with reggae and dub but after listening to slipknot through headphones I needed a few paracetamol 😁

Very good, and it was still for sale when I was on there earlier

I’ve had Beats Studio since they first came out and I’ve got the studio 3 now, I’ve never had any problems with any of them and that’s heavy use, they are pretty hard wearing , the solo ones can be a bit flimsy though imo

I won’t have any amp now with a fan that’s why I only use valve amps, but I have kept my RM500 because it’s such a great amp and it’s almost silent, there’s a thread here that might help , don’t know if you’ve seen it

My eldest is the same, he likes his reggae but also slipknot, I learned one of their basslines to show him, bit heavy for me 😁

Gregory isaacs Bob Marley jimmy cliff augustus pablo And I can remember being at school listening to pink Floyd, which I still like to now and again mum and dad liked all different music really, Motown, reggae, dean martin, Neil diamond, and those awful albums called, Top of the Pops 😁

Have you had a look through the cabs for sale here, there’s some good bargains there

Welcome Roger 👍
