Reggaebass

Once I’ve learned a song and played it quite a few times I tend to drift away from it and only play it once every now and again, one Bassline I never tire of playing is this by Robbie Shakespeare, it really drives the song

Lovely, I wouldn’t refinish it myself it looks cool

I don’t know much about pedals but playing reggae and dub I did experiment a bit with a few to get really deep bass , the only one I found good that I still use occasionally is the Ampeg bass preamp, you can boost the bass and it still sounds good without that distorted sound if your cabs can take it, there might be a few suggestions here

Very nice, Looks great as it is, what year is that one Dicey

Time to book your next one 👍

I don’t know that song, but if I need to up my speed for certain tracks I do pretty much what Acebass does above, I’m not a very fast player so I break it down into sections until I’ve got all the notes comfortably and then slowly up my speed, I did include some speed exercises into my practice routine before and it definitely helped, good luck ☝️

Would the stamps on the pots give you any more information , you already know the year , but when you put all your findings together it’s all good to know

That’s really nice, not sure if any info here is useful

I’ve always got a bass within reaching distance, I play it unplugged just to work out basslines or noodling , I’ve also got a Yamaha SessionCake for headphones which is quite a handy little thing

Yeah, me too, I’d expect them in sealed packaging

Dennis Brown this morning

I don’t know much about the musicmaster but aren’t they normally well over 2K for that year, seems way too good to be true

Coffee and a beer, i like your style 😁

Thanks BB ☝️, miss RB has just put it on

That’s good, I’m not an expert on these things ,but I think you need to find out what size and what thread it is to be able to get another nut , maybe try screwing on a few different bolts in a shop to find out if you don’t have any

Out of interest does that nut come off

Hi welcome, maybe another type of truss rod nut might fit if it comes off

As long as it’s done the job , well done 👍

Nice one, I’ve been watching Glastonbury on and off but to be honest there wasn’t one thing I liked, thanks for this myke I’ll check it out
