Been looking into Trevor castell also known as Trevor Junior, there’s some nice bass on his tracks which I’ve narrowed down to 3 players , Chris Meredith, Robbie Shakespeare and George Fully Fullwood, one of those artists that’s been around a long time but not overly well known, here’s a few 

nice version on this from around 1984

and from the rub a dub album

A nice one here from Clinton Fearon and the riddim source, sweet Bassline from Thomas Cirade

I really like that version of

'I and I Time'

Anyone know who played the original riddim ?

I know he did stiff with the radics but I think that was later..

Hi tt, from what I can gather it’s from the Slaving Riddim , maybe originally to do with Glen brown-No More Slavery about 1973 ish , Big youth also had this out around the same time, I’ll dig a bit more tonight 👍

and 

I Roy track is pretty close too

If you remember Creation Rebel you will love this with Adrian Sherwood, unfortunately I wasn’t there, I would have liked to even just to see Kenton Brown play, heavy bass, @Frank Blank I think you might like some of this

Lucky Dube, Guns & Roses

 

 

He reminds me of Peter Tosh, which is no bad thing.

I've been offline for a couple of weeks (computer issues), many thanks to Basschat Admin for helping get it sorted & get back to playing some music -

Don’t really know much about recording consoles but this looks really cool, according to the info it’s been used on so many famous reggae tracks and albums and came from Harry J's in Jamaica , check out the list , quite a part of history

On some Mikey Dread today , I like the driving Bassline on this, it’s a good one to play , and the jingle at the beginning I’m sure used to be on the Rodigan show or maybe from Tony Williams Reggae Rockers

Just a little tribute to Kris Kristofferson - a testament to his songwriting in that this Country songwriter wrote a song that was a huge soul hit for Gladys Knight and provided John Holt with this great single:

John Holt with this great single

It’s a great track myke, strangely I didn’t listen to much of his stuff back in the day, it’s only the last few years that I’ve been going through his songs, 1,000 Volts of Holt is a really good album, what really turned me on to him was when I started to transcribe In the Morning, I still can’t find out who played the Bassline , I’ve got a few possibilities but nothing definite but it’s superb , I haven’t nailed it 100% but I’m not far away

It was a bit poppy, but boy did we sell lots of copies of that album in the record shop I worked in!

Listening to a big compilation today I heard this, I remembered the track but couldn’t remember who it was by, from around 1980
