I'm joining a reggae group, and I need a little information. First off, let me tell you I know nothing about it, dont listen to it, though I dont hate it or anything, and the only big name I can think of is Marley. To let you know, I'll be plating bass. What I'm doing it for is for the practice with playing with people. What info I would really enjoy is...

1.) Major influencial artists... Im sure Bob M. wasnt the only big name there...

2.)Specific scales... are there any? Ionion and Pentatonic are used everywhere, but of course, there are plenty more.

3.) Any other specifications you guys can think of, any at all would help.
