But its giving me a sense of something else, and then I realise its this (at least in my head). Strip back the bassline a heck of alot more, concentrate on the main repetitive phrase slowed down, have the bass boom some more and fast forward a couple decades...at very least, it gave me a reason to listen to this one again OK...back to the old school stuff now.... Yeah definitely similar. That was also used earlier: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun/stupid story...I was out clubbing with some friends many moons ago, and Damien had a concert that weekend, so he dropped into the club with his peeps. So its late and we outside the club now jus' chillin' and Damien decides to leave and passes by us. My friend belts out 'Junior Gong!'. He proceeds to promptly drop his head, raise his fist and tell us the ubiquitous...'Blessssss...'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Today may 11th marks the 40th anniversary of Bob Marley’s passing , one of my favourite tracks, mighty Bassline 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumOne Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 A new record arrived today '100 tons of dub' and the title does it justice. Heavy sounding Channel One (soul syndicate) dub, I think mostly recorded in late 70s. George Fullwood, Robbie Shakespeare and Flabba Holt on Bass. This one is the most surprising, never heard it before but it sounds like it was made much more recently: Perhaps my favorite from the album: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
