Source of Rocksteady Bass Rhythm?

Can anyone identify the bass pattern on this, which seems to appear on thousands on Jamaican records circa 1967-1973, and also on "Pass The Dutchie" by Musical Youth?

Are you talking about the riddim? I thought Pass the Dutchie used the Full Up riddim from Sound Dimension's 1968 song of the same name?



My only caveat is that Don Drummond gets confused with Vin Gordon aka Don Drummond Junior, but that's also true with Studio 1 album listings, most notably the riddim Heavenless.

Don't know if it was the first version but 'Love Is Not A Gamble' by The Techniques?
