On the reggae programme I watched, the guy in Steel Pulse is shown playing a very smart natural finish Stingray I’m gonna watch it again drT, and have a closer look at their equipment, I didn’t notice the stingray 🙂 Quote

David rodigans knowledge on reggae is astounding, I remember listening to him and Tony Williams around 1977 , they had a program called reggae rockers, then David had his own show rodigans reggae. He also used to practically live in studio one in Jamaica . Edited September 3, 2020 by Reggaebass 1 Quote

The snatches I heard seemed really good.Rodigan obviously knows his stuff so well, and Lamaq was genuinely interested. 1 Quote

Reggaebass Posted September 11, 2020 Author Posted September 11, 2020 The wailers recent album has been getting some poor reviews on some reggae sites, so I listened to the whole album last night, Aston Barrett jr and Julian Marley are on it , this is the only track that I really liked. 1 Quote

Mykesbass Posted September 11, 2020 Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Such a simple bass line to copy, but the thought process to come up with it, and then to get the feel right, that's where the mastery is at! Sly & Robbie with Grace Jones. Edited September 11, 2020 by Mykesbass 6 Quote
