Name the BASS

are you kidding?.... it's in shot for less than five seconds in the whole clip!

after watching it a couple of times and trying to find the best point to pause and have a closer look I'm fairly certain it's not a G&L due to the fact that it doesn't have the signature 'point motif' on the bottom edge of the headstock...... beyond that I can't be much use I'm afraid, can't even really tell what colour the body is because the lights are coloured too!...... possibly blue? and definately a P-Bass of some sort.....

Ahhhh....
That brings back some memories - I used to have one just like that (with rosewood fingerboard) - sold it sometime in the 80's...
It was a great little bass.

Back in 1987 I bought a Wal Custom MkI (still got her 20 years later) - I had to sell the G&L and a really nice Aria to fund it...
Once I tried a Wal everything else was just surplus to requirements....then I was quite happy for about 15 years until I discovered vintage Fenders!

lol so these G&Ls are out of production? I cant seem to find them anywhere.[/quote]

I'm not a big dub fan to be honest. But I think Aston Barrett got a better tone when acquired on certain Marley songs using a '70s jazz and Acoustic gear.

I'll let you know next time I hear a nice dub example.
