I know you can make them with VSTs etc but i'm looking for something organic, anyone got any good samples? and yes, i've googled it, just can't find any decent packs.

i'm no authority on reggae and surely ripping a youtube video will lose me lots of quality. any links to good sources?

Well I still recommend sampling YouTube then, your not going to recognize the lost quality at all

google it around, some guy who makes guitar libraries for kontakt uploaded a free pack recorded with high quality gear that goes through every 3 note chord and the inversions. you can also try a loopmasters sample pack.
but why not make your own? layer a mid register organ sound with a percussive timbre, a piano sound and a harpischord sound. bandpass it, light phaser, light reverb and a quick low feedback delay. maybe run it through an amp simulator if you have one, it will give you a very authentic sound. That's how dancehall and late eletronica dub skanks are made.

Damian Marley has some classic reggae sounding tracks and it wouldn't be hard to find a song of his in high quality.

I came across a pack of raggae skanks a while ago that a guitarist recorded. It had both 5th and 7th chord skanks for every note in two octaves. Anyone familiar with this, because I would like to redownload i
