I have been a fan of Scott’s bass lessons forever but there’s tons of misinformation in the full video. You can’t teach Jamaican style bass if you can’t play it. Anybody can play the right notes but the feel and articulation is everything. You can’t just add a ghost note and a slur to that line. The tones good but there’s certain bass lines you can’t just play them however.
99% of reggae tone is the right hand technique. Play up on the neck. Find the sweet plucking spot for each string. Use the fat part of the side of your finger. Nylon tape wound or flatwounds only. Never use round wound. Your EQ should be heavy on the low and low mids. Get rid of high mids. Solid state amps sound better than tubes for reggae. Older reggae guys prefer passive basses but active basses give such a nice boost.
My live setup is Warwick thumb with black nylon strings going into Zoom B6 multi effects pedal. The effects chain is 1176 compressor> Pultec EQ preamp> Aguilar 750 amp sim. That is split between a solid state DI for FOH and then, for me, a Markbass 800 head going into an Ampeg 610HLF. My rig is loud but I play soft so each note sounds like controlled butter. Maaaaaan my tone is sweet.
Nobody hearing the out of tune G on the one on the original recording? Almost sounds like F#…
The s1 switch jazz basses were even better for that dubby tone . Same way tho tone off roll off volume a touch and boom
The flat wound strings don't hurt either.
Flats help a LOT. Or Tapewound rounds.
damn, they figured out my secret.
Try using the thumb to pluck and mute at the same time.
Aston Barret doesn’t had a rusty strings like you guys showed. It had maybe 40 years old but not like this. Not funny at all, guys. Everyone knows that Jamaica is a poor country so this kind of joke is bad.
I had a used bass shipped to me from Guitar Center with strings almost as crusty as that picture ????
You basically just turned your bass OFF to most viewers. On my laptop, your bass is not at 20% volume.
left hand muting is my personal way, I leave tone 80% up and both pickups on 100% on a j-bass for reggae (back when I gigged doing reggae). Lots of reggae guys actually use treble and mids on stage to hear the articulation and their sound man just makes it fat in the front of house
Almost perfect….great sound!
I know Aston used a jazz bass, but I get that same tone on a p bass. I mean it doesn't even have a bridge pickup to turn off just gotta dial back the tone nob.
So for reggae neck pick up , for slap bridge ?
That sounds awesome ✨✨✨ do you take requests I have yet to hear somebody do the dub play on Maxwell's submerged
Whats up with the glove on neck hand
Roll 1-3-5
You guys should interview Lars Lehman from Germany He is a killer bassist
My bass always sounds like that
This is hilarious!!!
Wow adjusting the knobs adjusts the sound.
Me aden. Me see reggae. Me like. Me happy????
Interview some reggae bassists…..?
Wow so bad
What's the song name?
E=77hz
Just use the flat of your thumb….Robbie Shakespeare ????
