Hey Lion,

I was wondering if you know the root of the bass line for "President" by Wyclef Jean?

Please could you check that one out for all of us aspiring bassist? :-)

Thanks

[wonnlawv]

you are such a talent.

[TiNhAxO]

very ns!

[wogsta80]

awsome bro awsome, can you play vampire

my two favourite peter tosh songs

1 vampire

2 maga dog

3 reggaemilitis

4 steppin' razor

[arky]

those are some of the baddest tosh tunes and my favorites as well!!

[afamblondy]

absolutely nice

[Wolfgramm676]

nyce

[leopeporgt]

I'm in brazil and I love that song.

Thanks, very good.

[imstillnumber1]

whats your favorite tosh album? i have them all except "wanted" i discoverd the song feel no way recently, really love it. sounds modern and fresh even after 25 years

[ALIONBASS]

'Wanted' is also nice, specially the sound of Sly and Robbie on the tracks... killing :-)

[imstillnumber1]

wasnt there a much older version of this song

[ALIONBASS]

Yes, the first one was a old ska version from 'The Wailing Wailers' (which Tosh sings). That was before they changed their name into 'The Wailers'.

[bassist412]

Raggae makes homework much more tolerable.

[ls1phsyco]

Where did you get those tabs?? or you got them by ear??

[ALIONBASS]

I only play by ear, that's much faster than writing tabs :-)

[ls1phsyco]

Damn, do you slow down the tracks to catch the notes??

[ALIONBASS]

No, just find the right key, many basslines are played in simple minor or major scales.

[ls1phsyco]

WOW!!! REALLY NICE!!

[Rhythmmm123]

You have talent my friend. It's good to see someone who appreciates reggae bass (it's the best)

[lm99990]

DO you use flatwound or roundwound strings?

[ALIONBASS]

Sometimes I use flatwounds, but mostly I use well-used roundwounds.

[coejack]

Reggae Bass playing i find is the most fun and boy it can really move ya while your playing lol good job

[malvaia]

I like Reggae Bass!!!

[bassplayer140]

I love Nesta, Bunny and Peter. I should really learn some reggae it would help me to have a wider range of experience with different types of music i did a bit of punk, classic, modern and now im learning some funk

and i did one heavy metal song i should do some reggae and heavy metal after im done some funk
