TShakazBlackRoots Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 My dear bredren and sistren, I cannot stress enough how good these basslines are. Please, please, please, find these albums! 1. 'Perfect Love and Understanding': By Israel Vibrations. Bass by the legend Flabba Holt. 2. 'A New Chapter Of Dub': By Aswad. Bass by the underrated multi-instrumentalist Tony Gad. 3. 'Dub Fever': By King Tubby. Bass by the legend Robbie Shakespeare. Believe me, when you play along these three cd's, you'll get a real grasp of what Roots Reggae is all about!

fig Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Thanks for the heads up. I do like the reggae...oh yes...reggae is chocked full of goodness to listen to and play. Hopefully Napster has these albums so I can give 'em a listen. Bassplayers aren't paid to play fast, they're paid to listen fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShakazBlackRoots Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 You could check Amazon for some samples. If there ain't any audio sample, just take my word for it and buy them. They are usually cheaper as they're old albums.

Bartolini Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 After one of the forum members lead a link to 'Night Clubbing' by Grace Jones, I listened to sound snippets in Amozon and went and bought it. I really like the 1st 3 songs and Robbie Shakespeare's bass lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc_dup1 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 If you want to start a Reggae collection you just can't go wrong with This Not the cheapest maybe, but it's an absolutely superb collection, beautifully presented with comprehensive booklet-buy this and a couple of the obvious Marley ones and you are well on your way.

TShakazBlackRoots Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 Not bad, not bad at all. Compilations are good, but try your best to get various complete artists' albums as they carry the 'heavier stuff' that may not have been released as singles.

... Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 For my buck, you can't go wrong on the raggae tip with Steel Pulse . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShakazBlackRoots Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Now you are talking!! The tightest Reggae band ever. Bob Marley used to watch them practice in awe, then take them on tour. He then used to chastise The Wailers for not being as tight as Steel Pulse! Get the 2 albums 'Handsworth Revolution' and Tribute to the matyrs' first. The basslines are tuff!
