I love Dennis bovells style, he’s done so much with so many people

Yeah definitely mr B, check out discogs if you get time, if you haven’t already, he’s been involved with so many people over the years and browsing through I remember so many of them

Found this mix and really enjoyed it today

 

[Reggaebass]

Loving this 

 

[Reggaebass]

One of the best tracks the mighty diamonds did , imo

 

[Bunion]

Always a lively band 

 

 

[Reggaebass]

Came across this while searching for something else, nice tune and bassline

 

[Reggaebass]

Some good reading here about the reggae bass players, also good to see is that Val Douglas is pictured with his Hohner B2A

Horace Andy has done a few tunes with Adrian Sherwood lately, including this version of Massive Attack's (who he's done a lot with) Safe from Harm

I recently bought a headless Bass and seeing about half of the players in that list pictured with one became one of the selling points.

I really like my Hohner with flats, how are you getting on with your one ?

The trouble I had with my Steinberger was the ergonomics, sounded good though. I've now gone for an Ibanez EHB 1005 MS which I'm really liking.

I’ve been playing this album lately, I bought it when it came out, still sounds great 

 

[Mykesbass]

Ken Boothe sounding VERY different from his Everything I Own hit - what a vocal!!
