thisnameistaken Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 My current main (not intentional, but these things happen) band does a set of old Jamaican pop covers as a sort of bait n' switch set for our original tunes. Works out well. Anyway... Bloody hell what an influence those old Jamaican studio musicians were. Some tunes I probably wouldn't enjoy playing so much if I wasn't singing on them too, but they got such a lovely sound and they've sold me on flatwounds and basses with sh*t pickups I guess they were listening to the American soul players, but whatever, they had some great songs of their own.
