Reggaebass

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

The B15 is quite old now and not worth much, but I’ll take it off your hands for a few quid 😁

Linval Thompson this morning , pumping some bass

I think sometimes it’s down to people not appreciating that you’ve took the time out to help, it’s easy to walk on by but nice to help, I’ve had PM’s thanking me for helping on occasions, which is nice, don’t change what you’re doing Dave 👍

Did you try TI’s Lozz, they are well bright , I have to eq mine down
