Help! What instrument is this being played?

[jokerone]

I hear it during the entire song, but if you go to 1:23 in the video, you can hear it more plainly.
its a low pitch growl that sounds like someone trying to pull a nail out of an old board (terrible description but its all I have).

I assume its synth of some sort? I've heard it before in other songs, but this one is one that caught my ear.

no, I hear the Vibroslap. I mean the melodic instrument being played

thanks.

It maybe a guitar with a lot of effects on it. I'm watching him play on a live youtube video and it sounds similar.

thanks.

thanks Chili. That makes sense. Lots of Organs and Clavinets in Reggae.
I remembered hearing here at about 2:45 (for the low notes).

That actually is a guitar in the Marley tune, not a clav...right?.. unless I can't hear it in my laptop speakers.

I think its a Clavi. there is a guy in a tan shirt and pants standing behind Peter Tosh playing a keyboards (some sort of synth, and a Clavi).

Clavinets & Guerreros are requirements for classic reggae.

Tosh is playing the solo through some sort of wah - sounds like in choked back position. The clav MAY be playing along.

Yeah I don't know. I was going by the sound, and watching Peter;s fingers.

check the video again, I think they just spliced some video of playing together during the bridge. Tosh's playing doesn't sync with the sound. At least to me.

you think Toshs fingers don't match what is being played? me too. (at least during the bridge where the "clavi" candidate instrument is playing. )
