@gavman - 'Best reggae bassist by a country mile', and no mention of Robbie Shakespeare? Perhaps you're not familiar with Sly and Robbie - you should check them out.... |
@larsman controversial no doubt Family man came first and showed the way. Robbie Shakespeare and Flabba Holt took it onto the next level. Robbie Shakespeare has more snap to his basslines, Flabba more groove. Robbie walks, Flabba rolls. I admire and respect Robbie Shakespeare. But i love Flabba Holt Robbie's tight and rhythmic style matches and underpins the 80's classic Private lives by Grace Jones
