You used to be able to access all the categories on Trojan but they stopped it about two years ago, looks like it’s back again, good news

Been rehearsing in a start up reggae band. Had the first session where everyone clicked the other day.

I can honestly say that playing reggae bass is a wonderful experience. Meditation ain't in it. I could play the same two bar riff for hours without noticing the time going by.

Nice one stew, there’s nothing like a really sweet reggae Bassline to play, less is more sometimes, good luck with your band

It’s an oldie and a cover by Barry Biggs but I’m enjoying playing this at the moment , nice Bassline

That’s the track I heard a little while back and it sent me on quite a search for all his other songs, can’t say I liked them all but there’s certainly some great ones , I think lots are covers, not sure if they all are

And while I have a few hours left before midnight, here is this week's instalment for Dancehall Friday

I’m going with this, i remember buying it, I think you might like this Tandro, you get 5 points if you can guess which film they played it in

Nice one Reggaebass, my kinda ting! I should lie and say I knew but I'll go on the honour system as I had no idea which movie, I had to go hunt it down. I must have seen Cocktail late 80s, over 30 years now! I'll try for the 5 points next time  

[Reggaebass]

A couple tonight from Frankie Jones, I’m liking this version with U Brown , you don’t hear many of his tunes these days 

and this great riddim

Yeah, great isn't it!

 

I was playing Dawn Penn's 'You don't love me (no no no)' with the band at rehearsal the other day and we unexpectedly just keep going around - guitar solo, around again, vocals, around again, brass solo, around again, only bass and drums, around again...and kept going, like group meditation. And for me, standing in front of a loud cab and just repeating that dubby bass that you can feel almost as much as hear, locking in with the drums and everyone else, nothing virtuoso or flashy - providing a hypnotic foundation is my favourite thing with bass playing.
