Best teacher ever! Jah Guidance, Don!
Thank You
just wow ... this is the bassman i am looking for since decades :D
Just proves the point.... 5 strings are ok, but four does the job!
Sometimes, even two are enuff
I’ve been looking for a channel like this forever! Bless up Don! 🙏🏿👍🏾
EmWell I’m glad you found me Trevor👊🏾
Same here, I was also looking for a channel like this. Just started a few months ago, playing bass. Keep up the great work. Greetings from Surinam (caribbean/south america)
These lines are absolute gems! Thank you Don!
If there would be a 500 baselines medley I would listen to the whole thing not even realizing it
that means you're not really listening
Killah Bass!
that number 7 is lovely 1:23
Thank you so much for this
You get reggae bass in your blood. Waw 💚💛❤️✌🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The first time you heard about reggae was with the vocal trio The Abbysinnans og Burning Spear in 1976-79 i still think that they make the best Reggae ever. Greetings from Denmark
I love reggae bass

Sometimes the bass just finds you when you’re not looking for it👊🏾
Bass just feels better :D
Wooow that bass tone you have Don, it’s sounding superb 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🇬🇳🏴
I got a waterproof speaker called StormTide drumb 60w. It holds this bass niiiiiiiice 🐸!!! Flash it!!!
These are some amazing Reggae basslines right here man I love it. Big up Donstrumental.👊
Good stuff, it has not to be complicated, there has to be feeling and rythm..thank you for this video.
You’re Welcome Robert👊🏾
wicked.. i do have a question about the recording side..witch gear did y used to get this nice bass tone into the digital world and what kind of strings y use or recoment, bless and love from berlin..wicked basslines..
40 Degrees I use flatwound strings and a cable plugged straight into a Focusrite scarlet Interface, nothing fancy. Pickups both on and tone set halfway. Majority of sound is in the fingers.
Sounds awesome 👍
Gonna learn these straight away

@@donstrumental8905 I suspect I'll be happy with whatever you put up. I wont harass you with endless lists of tracks I'd like you to do. Let's face it even with the constant reuse of classic bass lines in reggae the list would still be close to endless. Hope you post something soon. I mainly play guitar but finding your site has prompted me into picking up the bass again. Thank you.
I discovered Melt Away quite recently! How could I have missed such a great riddim for a lot of years? A new favourite of mine. I have another favourite: am I the only one feeling that Eek a Mouse "Queen Elisabeth" is a really fat riddim?
can anyone help me figure out the kunta kinte dub played- its number 6 in the video. I just cant seem to find the notes
send me an email don@reggaebasshub.com
tab plz :)
now available in the description below
sensational
Amazing videos. Thanks a lot from Spain.
Just discovered these videos. Great material, great job. Legit, authentic reggae bass.
Welcome aboard!
Obrigado por compartilhar!!!
I notice that you played all the Bassline’s on the same steppers bass drum groove. Wouldn’t the Bassline groove according to the drum style for example: Triolets, one drop etc?
Simply beautiful 🤌 I could listen to you jam for days. 25 years of playing and still learning. Music is magic 🫡
i don't play bass or any instrument but go figure, my favorite were 7 and 12, which they are very very similar. Go figure
Don, would you recommend a 2x12 or a 4x10 cab for reggae-dub? The issue here is to find the appropriate quality/texture of tone, not loudness, portability or any other concern. I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for uploading the backing track and the transcription of the basslines, your contribution is much appreciated ***
Good question. I've tried them all and the best combination i've found is 2X12 which is what i use. My 2x12 will give any 8x10 a run for it's money,
@@donstrumental8905 Thanks. Is it a MB 2x12 Ninja cab?
@@donstrumental8905 Barefaced no doubt :D
Você é 10 mano!!!!!!!! Muita simplicidade, abraço!!!!!!!
Perfect vidéo!! i stoll someone for next jam ;)
Excellent Sir thankyou, what a fantastic teacher you make it look so easy,
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing and love your feel! 😎
Great job !!!THANK YOU so much !!!
Gotta say number 2 is my fav, can really bounce that along.
This medley is inspirational, thank you! 11 and 20 resonate most 4me. I use Camelphat to give my bass some reggae texture. What effects or post production does Donstrumental use? Bass is a fender with flatwound?
Fender Jazz bass, Flatwounds and a cable. I roll off most of the highs in the DAW EQ but leave some mid for definition, slight boost around 60hz and get rid of everything below 20Hz. Live I have King Tubbys in a box which I’ll be demonstrating soon. Check out any Michael Prophet or Horace Andy Live with Dub Asante around 2011 on TH-cam and you’ll hear It in action.
@@donstrumental8905 OK, you've really got me interested in the king tubbys in a box! What is it? Reggae Bass player here, and that sounds liek something I NEED to know about! :)
@@MactacFPV You can here it kick in here at 2.29, video coming soon th-cam.com/video/-xxC0Fk25U0/w-d-xo.html
@@donstrumental8905 Resonant highpass filter?
Not that it matters, but there are only 2 notes in this whole set that go above the A string
It does matter, I stay on the E and A as much as possible, even if it’s easier to stay in one position and use the D string. Well observed👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Good video. Posting to name Leroy Sibbles, Lloyd Parks, and Boris Gardiner.
Such deep groove, all of them. And your tone is just amazing, so round and thick. Most of it is of course in the fingers but may I ask, what effects/compression, if any, are you using? Also, are these Pyramid flatwounds?
No effects, slight eq bump around 60hz
@@donstrumental8905 And a real understanding of where to play on the instrument with your right hand - between the neck and neck pickup, and I would bet a fairly gently pull over the string with your fingers rather than more funk/rock style heavier and faster pull more through the string to get a bigger attack.
There's a lot to getting a great reggae tone, I play a lot of funk, and maybe a little ska flavour, but I love how reggae lines flow and work within the groove. Never found a decent resource to help get that feel right until now. Just discovered your channel, really enjoying the content, thanks!
@@51m0nn Everyone thinks the answer to a heavier sound is play harder, it’s actually the opposite. Turn up the volume and play softer.
só good i am big fa you job
Thank you👊🏾
Any chance of getting the Notes? thanks
Amazing man! really appreciate the notations and backing track! you inspire me to learn more about reggae bass!
Hola muy buenas bases para ensayar podrías enviar la base que utilizas gracias desde Argentina
This is pristine. Just subscribed. Awesome
Smooth Groove.... love it....
I played bass in a reggae band back in the nineties. We got to open for Toots and the Maytals a few times. One time Jackie Jackson used my rig,which included a Sans Amp Bass Driver. When I explained it was going to FOH, he reached down and turned the treble all the way down and the bass all the way up. Then he said " Where can I get one, mon?"
What was the band steven 🙂
@@reggaebass1857 Sneaky Pete. The venue was Toads Place in New Haven CT. We opened for a lot of the best bands,such as Burning Spear and Steel Pulse.
Nice tone. Great lines!
Thanks Carl👊🏾
Will definitely jam over this!
You have to raise the bass a little louder
You are my brother.I knew !!!

Months later n still come back to this vid n blast it in my HPs
im waiting for the another video 20 bass lines with different scale.
This is great!!!!!! Thanks
Sick skills brother! Super phat!
Hi, many thanks for this tutorial and pdf/backtrack. If it is possible a backtrack at 85/90 bpm will be appreciated ? I'm a little stuck at 120 bpm 😁
send me an email donstrumental@gmail.com
thanks, it's very kind@@donstrumental8905
So all the bass lines can be played along to the same backing track?
Not quite, these are specific popular reggae bass lines.
Brilliant instructor.
YES SIR!!!! 👌🏾👌🏾
A-a-a-a-a-a!!!
really impressive
Thanks Jason👊🏾
I want to hear those bass lines louder and the rhythm a bit less...otherwise excellent
whattt!¡???? louder than that will blow the speakers, you need to hear it with good quality headphones or speakers, because it sounds sweet!!
🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🎸❤️💛💚
Verry good groove
Looks like flat wound strings, when I started using flats I had a much easier time getting this sound and even the timing correct than I had trying to use my bass with round wound strings.
Gratitude..I'm learning from you!
Let me know how it goes brother👊🏾
@@donstrumental8905 @ini7ampaio
Great work!! Congrats
Grooooovin! Inspiring basslines , amazing sound. I'll be coming back to this several times. Thank you for your service, Don! 🙏🏼
Jah bless
🔥🔥🔥🔥
What amp and settings do you use to produce that beautiful tone?
No Amp, bass plugged direct to audio interface
That is all Fender Jazz baby! He has a Fender American Elite Jazz Bass.
