@greavesbass, if you fancy playing some mellow tunes, check out some of Gregory isaacs 🙂

 

[Reggaebass]

If you’ve got some time  have a listen to this , it’s the Asham band , they are a Belgian reggae band who I follow, their bass player is Alain,  who you may know from YouTube, he’s a great reggae player and they are backing Linval Thompson , I’ve stolen some of the Basslines 😁

box piano ? ,, goes to a time long before Cooke, long before , some call him "The Voice" the original & 1st voice undisputed aka Mr Marshal ,, note the rolling /strolling piano beat ? bigger than the king , & copied by so many ever since

Cooke was his sensational new wave replacement , & Gaye was the reluctant replacement of Cooke , ,, jazz man him a history man

remembering Paul trouble Anderson ,, only on Kiss FM ( thanks for the info )

Sounds like a bass to me , although the cool ruler did use a lot of synth Basslines on lots of his albums, also I’m sure  that Robbie Shakespeare played most of the lines in the early days 🙂

I couldn’t resist playing this last night, good job the neighbor is away 😁

interesting that it says, Large gatherings known as sound systems would take place at carnivals in Reading and Oxford,      Where would you say the first sound systems took place, because I remember them from east London when I was a kid 🙂

[taunton-hobbit]

We had a resident sound (Neville Enchanter) in 1971/2  in Harrow - he came from North London & had, I think, been running for about four or five years prior to that ..............

😎

This is the usual Beeb stuff, half arsed and badly thought through - I can't seriously believe that someone actually thought  proper sound systems didn't happen until the 80's ....
