im a metal fan but the bass is hardly audible in most bands because the rhythm guitar is supposed to have a fat low end to sound chunky, so they cut the bass. That and the rhythm section groove isnt as important as it is in reggae, thats why i appreciate it more

lf I had to guess I would say the mids and highs are both rolled back to detent (maybe even further). Lows slightly boosted. Pickup pan definitely rolled up towards the neck.

@@andreswaringer1476 definitely got the mids and highs cut. It's reggae bass, all about the sub. String wise, I'd say maybe flatwounds but that's not a stereotypical choice really. Most of the sound of reggae bass comes from the EQ on the desk and tape compression and saturation.

I agree that Flabba's a bass genius. One of my favorite tricks of his was when he reversed the two halves of the bassline for Joya Landis' "Moonlight Lover" when he backed young Barrington Levy's version of the tune. He started out with the sixteenth-note delay in the line to "modernize" the line. Very clever and really propelled the riddim! I love so many of his lines...another of my faves is his wikked line for Leroy Sibbles' (who knows something about bass himself!) "Give Me What is Mine," recorded in JA with the Radics when Leroy was living in TO.

I've never tried playing this style before, just tried the foam at the bridge and it's a HUGE part of the sound/tone. I was trying to mute the strings with my left hand to get that short-sustain muted note, but the pressure is critical and it's tough as a newbie. As soon as I put the foam in I all of a sudden started sounding like Don here! I was lucky enough to have exactly the right kind of foam from an acoustic panel for a studio. There's still a lot of skill that goes into making this sound really good, though. Now I can keep practicing.

I think playing this type of music helps your timing. It’s easier to play in time fast than it is to play slow because the space between the notes gets further apart when playing slow.👊🏾

Just a bit of foam I found hanging around the studio nothing special. It just kills the sustain. I don’t always use it. Depends on the sound I’m going for. An alternative is to play with you thumb and mute with the side of you hand. I find that I get more freedom when I use the foam.👊🏾
