This is one of my fave Robbie basslines: ruclips.net/video/CxUpb7OjEog/видео.html I do my best with it, singing it while playing it. Both his line for the verse and the chorus are WIKKED!
Brilliant list. Dont forget Bob Marleys concrete jungle, stir it up and punky reggae party. All played when the regular bassist, Aston familyman Barrett (Robbie's teacher and mentor), was away.
This is cool,i remember listening to your bass covers 10 years ago and thinking,man this is the greatest thing.Now am here,playing bass,my favourite is the reggae basslines.Thanks to Family man,and you!
Maximum respect teacher, I could play the bass lines of the 2 songs from the iconic Eart & Stone production, Dont Let Them Fool You and Thats The Way You Feel.
A list of great Robbie Shakespeare bass lines would be inexhaustible and strictly sujective.. The track tevolution from Dennis Brown and the 2 others from Black Uhuru are the one's i grew up listening to in the 80s and they're still so much more...Thanks for the vid👍
Ne pas oublier:Crystal ball,poor man feel it...(peter tosh);tell you're sorry,sad to know...(Gregory isaac)& more...Thanks Robby,RIP,God bless you...New caledonia vibes
I have a friend who has been playing drums all his life, and I tried to introduce him to roots reggae drum styles, and he can't even get it at all. He tried playing along but he results back to that American style rhythm.
Fabulous: hope we get a LLoyd Parks collection one day, some great albums there from producer Prince Tony Robinson Dread locks Dread ect, Then there is of course Two seven Clash album by Culture
Robbie almost always uses one bassline for the verse and another for the chorus. He also often adds still another bassline for the intro. Mistah Shakespeare naw easy!
Indeed..Creative. Sort of reminds me of Ronnie Stepper McQueen' various basslines on the Steel Pulse track " Biko's Kindred Lament" on their 1979 album Tribute to the Martyrs.
Obviously not the original, but there is a dub version by Scientist, called "Coxsone feel this one" ruclips.net/video/YPFpDOhpe4M/видео.html EDIT: Baltimore - The Tamlins (see complete list below)
Alain il y'a un truc bizarre a 1:41, la ligne de basse ça a l'air effectivement d'être The Tamlins mais le reste c'est "Games With Love" de Bitty McLean. Sinon super liste !
Bonjour Alain,merci beaucoup pour ton contenu ! Serait il possible de discuter en privé par mail ? je cherche des renseignements sur la basse reggae (réglages basse,réglages ampli etc...) ancien guitariste dans le reggae,je prends la place du bassiste pour un futur projet,cette période de confinement me permet de bosser 😊 Je joue sur une fender jazz bass mexico 4 cordes(pas encore de filets plats,elles sont chez mon luthier ),micros Crel,un ampli combo fender rumble 100w en attendant mieux. Merci,musicalement Arthur
Bonjour, merci! Réglage c'est toujours un peu chercher, il faut un bonne balance entre les basses, mid et aigus. En general, augmenter les basses et diminuer les aigus. Chaque basse est différent, donc il n'y a pas de réglage fixe.
@@ALIONBASS Oui c'est ce que je me dis aussi,il y a de nombreux paramètres ... Je me sers uniquement du micro manche,l'autre est coupé. Tu laisse la tonalité ouverte ou fermée ? Merci 👍
@@privatarthur7907 Ca depend, pour enregistrer je laisse la tonalité ouverte. En live je la mets au milieu, mais jamais completement fermee. Mais c'est une preference personnel.
Nice to see you again ! I learned many reggae songs on bass because of you. Do you play always through ampeg amps ? Thank you for sharing your passion with us ! ;-)
I think a 4-string is best to start with. 5-string is good for songs in keys below E, or to have more flexibility on your left hand playing position, or just to have extra (low) notes available in any key you're playing in.
Hi strictlyUnderg0und, ive played in a few bands and groups, mainly reggae. I only play 4 string, tried 5 and sold it after about 5 months as spent most of my time with my thumb resting o the B and not really playing it. The neck on a 5 is wider and generally 5’s are slightly heavier. Ive never been questioned about playing 4 instead of 5, and depending what Front of house speakers are being used have found that the low B can get lost in the mix. Try a 4, try a 5 and see what you like but more important that you work on your timing and swing than whether you play 4 or 5. 👍🏻

Totally awesome! Only thing greater would be Robbie's thumb-strumming on a few cuts, i.e., General Penitentiary.
@@ALIONBASS Great selection. Would've liked to see some of his work with Peter Tosh included and 'Murder She Wrote' would've also been good.
REST IN POWER, MR. SHAKESPEARE !
The king 🤴🏿 is DEAD. Long live his bass 🎸 lines... R.I.P.. 🙏🇯🇲
Thank you very much, Alain M., our bass-hero is gone, RIP Robbie
Robbie and Family Man are the best bassist that ever lived!

Robbie also played amazing bass lines I love his playing on the Peter tosh album Equal rights
Brilliant list. Dont forget Bob Marleys concrete jungle, stir it up and punky reggae party. All played when the regular bassist, Aston familyman Barrett (Robbie's teacher and mentor), was away.

O no Alain did you hear the news, the master is gone. RIP Robbie Shakespeare
Certainly Robbie Shakespeare was the MOST PROLIFIC BASSIST in the History of Reggae Music.
That's true. The duo Sly and Robbie are esteemed to have featured on well over 200.000 recordings...I was out of my wits when I read that.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LEGEND LEGEND ROBBIE SHAKESPEARE. ❤❤❤❤
Hello my friend
New Suscriber
Congratulations good job Big Thumbs up
This dude is wicked 💥💥💥💥💥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Robbie almost always uses one bassline for the verse and another for the chorus. He also often adds still another bassline for the intro. Mistah Shakespeare naw easy!

Steppah is fe me true
sounds nice! I worked with Robbie once and he uses his thumb and only downstrokes to play. if he upstrokes ever its also with the thumb.
Thanks! Yes, he mainly playes with his thumb, very controlled down- and upstrokes. Great technique.
Historic!!!!!!
Irie! Nice, man. Thanks very much and all the best for 2020.
Wicked playing, totally in the pocket 👌
Superb, I’ve been listening to your playing from day 1, your an inspiration
very smooth. you should be in a band man...
keep up the good work 🤙

Nice mate 👌
So cool...got any Rocksteady bass riddems?
Thank you. I wonder how many of these he played either his thumb as well? Anyone know? Thx
You back!! 😀
wich song at min 1.43? great video, can you make a Flabba and Jah David medley? bless up
Takes me back in time. Thank you. That lowest string makes a great thumb rest. What's wrong with that Jazz in the background ? 😎
Yes indeed, and that Fender on the background is great too. But I can only play one bass at a time ;-)
4:45 min Love it ! What's the name of the song please ?!
Obviously not the original, but there is a dub version by Scientist, called "Coxsone feel this one" ruclips.net/video/YPFpDOhpe4M/видео.html

OK - we gotta step it up... We're doing our best over at Postposterous and learning new tricks all the time from channels like yours. --The dude

Nice thumbrest.
Haha yes, a 3-string bass with 12 frets would have been enough to play these tunes ;-)
Nice to see you again ! I learned many reggae songs on bass because of you. Do you play always through ampeg amps ?
Thank you for sharing your passion with us ! ;-)
Thanks! Mostly I use Ampeg, but for recordings also DI.
@@ALIONBASS What kind of processing for recording?
is there a track list for all the songs you played??
Thanks bro!
Great, thanks ! :)
Glad you are back. Curious what strings you use?
On this bass: DR Flats
@@ALIONBASS Thanks!
I am starting playing some bass. Do you do some online classes? Bless up
Check out donstrumentals channel.... Very good reggae bass teacher....
Blessings I
No competition, just a one love mission
Hi Alain, is the backing track you use available with the different compilations available, cheers ☝️
Not available anymore, sorry. Greetings!
Alian are you interesting to teach reggae bass let me know. all the best
Great video. I love your tone. Is it flatwounds that you are using?
Thanks Aaron, these are flatwounds indeed (DR).
You should add the music name, man
Beautiful. Do you use flats on your fender 5 string?
Thanks, and yes, I have DR flats on this bass.
@@ALIONBASS large up! Been a fan of your playing
@@ALIONBASS I always use flats in my j bass. I’ve been wanting a 5 string but thinking about having rounds on it so it’s more versatile across genres.
Hi how are you? do you teach bass or a site for bass class or any contact, great bass
Hello, thanks. I only have this youtube-channel, and sometimes I teach bass at home in Belgium.
Solid in the pocket! And your tone is fat and punchy. Are you using any compression?
Thanks, I use some limiting on the mixed track to allow decent overall volume, but not compression on the bass as an effect.
@@ALIONBASS Thanks! Keep it up!
Wannabe reggae bass player here.. should I go 5 string or stay 4 string? I heard most bands will expect you to play a 5 string. Is this correct?
I think a 4-string is best to start with. 5-string is good for songs in keys below E, or to have more flexibility on your left hand playing position, or just to have extra (low) notes available in any key you're playing in.

Great job. One of the greatest bass slides of all time right here ruclips.net/video/y8WezI_UlFY/видео.html courtesy of Mr. Shakespeare

What keys is the bass
What do you mean? Like what strings?
It's a 5 string bass, with the traditional beadg tuning.
The bass should be louder
Try good speakers with decent bass response :-)
You’re right. And thanks for the reggae class 🙏
what is this foam thing? does that help mute ringing strings? I see you mute B string with thumb
It gives a different kind of attack and more focused bass. Also less sustain, that's why I use only a small part.
The brothers bass is flat
