Fionn Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 If you've got a spare hour check this out. Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespear with Ernest Ranglin and Tyrone Downie, live in Finland in 2012. It's an excellent performance, and a nice bit of Sunday afternoon dub bliss for ya ...

redstriper Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Robbie favours a Jazz these days, like Fams - sometimes a stack knob. This is an older gig, worth a look if you haven't seen it: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U4nm0Vvcz8&feature=share&list=PL4CF8C1F37C208FFC&index=20[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing one when I saw him with Black Uhuru in the early '80's , so it seems that he must have reverted to his old favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Robbie started on Aston Barrett's Hofner violin bass before moving on to a Fender Jazz. He played a Steinberger and then PRS for a few years, before coming back to the Jazz bass. Both he and Familyman prefer the Fender Jazz over all other basses and they've both tried a few. It's all about the lickin' space [media]http://youtu.be/VdFTtOAXd5s[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cytania Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 In the studio Robbie favours a Schechter bass, have been unable to work out which model though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Here he is in 2007 playing a PRS in the studio, also acting as producer for Horace Andy's vocals later in the clip: [media]http://youtu.be/O2z6m9k-BVU[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
