Reggaebass Posted November 22 Author Share Posted November 22 Great video here of Third World and dancing on the floor, a classic track that I remember well, pretty sure it’s Richard Daley on bass But I don’t recall seeing that bass , any idea what it is, looks like it’s got 2 precision pickups 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted November 29 Author Share Posted November 29 Been going through quite a few albums by Culture lately and even though it’s probably one of the most popular by them it’s still a favourite of mine, lovely Bassline by Ranchi McLean and this is a lovely song by Joseph Hill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted December 8 Author Share Posted December 8 I’m normally into my early 80s roots and dub but I was going through The Ethiopians tracks and here’s a couple I really liked , Good Ambition has a nice Bassline We’ve probably had this before but it’s worth another play Engine 54 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
