Superb tune PJ☝️, the intro of the  Bassline in loafer always reminds me of this 

 

[Reggaebass]

Sweet tune here from Roland Burrell, don’t think we’ve had this one, I can’t track down who played bass on this

Love Burning spear, especially the more dubby stuff— only needs a few words from one of the most soulful voices in reggae.

If you fancy a bit of easy listening and nothing too heavy, the album from Kubix is good , track 3  Sunday children is a nice bouncy one ☝️

I’ve been playing a few Roots Radics Basslines lately, here’s a classic from around 1982, with Hugh Mundell 

and dangerous match two 

check out dangerous match four, heavy Bassline

Probably one of my favourite Freddie McGregor tracks, cool bassline from flabba, nice easy one to play

think some peeps could be surprised on the benchmarks set by Dub Reggae bass players & their bass lines ,, easy on the ear, easy if you follow the top notes , yet plenty of those lines are swinging jazz turnovers , then, they twist the progression on the fret board ,, & you slowly realize you will not be able to play the line,

I see those bastards at Lucozade have hijacked my idea for a new hotstep band by using my favorite Ini Kamoze track in their stupid TV adverts. Which was going to be the opening song in my set, but now any millennials in the crowd would be all "Oh, its the Lucozade song!"... so basically thats ****ing ruined it. 😟
