What no breakneck speed? Just beautiful *bass* playing? Count me in. I could listen to this all day--this, to me, is the real art of bass playing--in the pocket, warm, and impossible to play if you don't have groove in your soul. And all those materials you make available here? This is such a gift. Thanks so much!!
I was born in Britain to Jamaican parents, in 1968 my older brother came from Jamaica singing Jamaican songs. We weren’t allowed such music in our strict Christian household, but when I left home I could reconnect with the Studio one, Trojan records, Rock steady. Toots and the Maytals and all that good stuff. I needed to hear and reconnect. Thank God for you as well !
Wow, what I really like is the written lines because we African we like to listen than reading music. i play saxophone and I learnt by reading music. As a music teacher I like my students to read music as well as listening. Voila!!! Well done!!!
Ohhhhhhh yes enjoy your bass lines with NO breaks....just beautiful bass lines that really cheered me up....Your Top Man love listening to your Bass Lines...Bless ❤
UB40 was so recognizable. I don't play any instrument well, jus a bit, but bass is one of my favourites especially reggae basslines. I found basslines of Gregory Isaac's music so very recognizable and i love it!
Laying down 20 Studio One Basslines with the tab (& notation) continuously and flawlessly. Don't even know what I searched for but Jah brought me to you. Thank you. Jah Peace be with you ❤💛💚
you have provided the tabs and notation plus audio to practise. Pls consider patreon account and take my money. This chanel is the best thing that happened to me since I started playing bass a year ago. Jah blessing dear Don!
Haha, I’m flattered that your willing to give me your money😀 maybe the patreon will come soon. I didn’t know these videos would create so much interest👊🏾
Wow... I've always been Bass lover of music, especially Reggae tunes... So need an album with The Bass playing over the reggae... Like this video 🤩👍🏾🌟❤️🌹💯 thank you
This is a video I return to because it’s so smooth and so good. Thanks for putting this together. Love the arrangement, and the tasty kick at the end during The Fade. You the man.
Dear Don, what to say first? The video alone is a blessing for all of us bass newbies, cause good reggae bass videos are rare still. Downloadable tabs? Thank you even more! Downloadable BACKING TRACKS W/OUT bass...? This kind of generosity is hard to find. Riddim Up indeed. Will stay locked in my cellar tonight! Thank you from Germany!
Awesome I have been playing bass since 1996 always reggae and dub. Thanks for the video and advice. I will be diving into the riddims, I have been playing some of them over the years. But need to lift up my bass game. Jah bless
I've been searching for a reggae Bass channel to suggest to my subscribers as they been asking me to find one for them! Finally, keep them coming my brother. I'll be sure to tag your channel in my tutorials! Big up 🇯🇲💪🏿
Just found you, thank God! Just joined a “surf reggae acoustic “ band, always listened to reggae but playing it the way i want….not easy, so massive thanks for all your videos. Now on for compl😢…. No satta massagna , 😊, choices choices

Thank you so mach for your lesson 🙏🏽 you are the best bass man and playing relax with a good feeling ‘great bass player bro greeting from Ethiopia man 🙏🏽💚💛❤️
Oh thanks, I knew almost all of these at one point or another in past 25 years but great to have them all on a reel. Terrific work bassie!! I’m going to fresh up all 20 again and run it …max respect..
@@donstrumental1 the funny thing is I had my pen and paper ready, was actually writing it down then thought actually let’s check if it’s in the description. Thanks again man. Hopefully link up for a lesson after the lockdown 🙏🏽
Thanks a bunch Don. This is just what I & so many other bass players need. I've downloaded the tab sheets, and will get practicing. You're a true reggae gent. Jah Bless!
I played some of these a while back in a band and the big problem I had was remembering the rhythms for each so I managed to learn enough to be able to write somewhere near the correct notation as a memory aid - and here they are all done properly! Great lesson and invaluable having notation and tabs to accompany it thanks so much.
Thank you Nicky, I hope you still strive to remember them. Tip! Put them all in a playlist and listen to nothing else for a month. Would love to hear that you can run all 20 by memory. keep me posted👊🏾
@@donstrumental1 you really do! I’ve hit a few now but I am going to check the rest for sure. My aim is to join a reggae band at some point, the more I play bass in different styles the more I feel reggae is really what I want to do, but haven’t as yet :)
Edited Tabs available in download link in description.
Great Job!! thank you :) its light in my darkness...

Somebody translate for me please.
@@donstrumental1 Very good!! I'm learning a lot with you!! From São Luís/Maranhão-Brazil. Here our reggae is very strong.
Thanks for sharing! If you haven't already, can you go over how to get that lovely low-end reggae sound on your bass--strings, amp, plugins, eq, etc.
Thanks Sam, going to have to do a video on it as everyone is asking.
So true, I have trouble hearing the low end on bass usually, but not here!
I really love Bobby Babylon’s bass line❤
Man, just found your channel and I love it!
I think about reggae bass a lot and listen to it in such detail and it blows my mind.
I have plenty info for you here bro👊🏾
