@ElCalbo1954 Thanks man. The video is recorded over five years ago (5/2006) with a analog video camera & then transferred to PC via screen capture software so it ain't exactly quality video :) Anyway I'm glad you like it.

Jacin did a great job on this. This cat is just aced the joint. Big props to this bassist!

[tinman3012]

It sounds great. It also sounds fretless, but I can see that it is a fretted bass.

[sprojojoing]

@tinman3012 Thanks man. The frets were small & think when I got it, and has worn pretty much after over 15 years. so it sometimes does sound a bit like a fretless. Also back when i had a fretless couple of years the Fretless style technique kinda stuck. You can easily spot that effect on Jaco's numerous recordings, which over some people still argues whether he plays fretless/fretted bass on.

[mikesmithson]

Great job. You would make Jaco proud..

[Bobstranz]

Wow! Folks like you make wonder why I even try. I'm impressed and depressed.

[hahabass]

That was great. Always wanted to learn this one. Well done!

[marazul2008]

Really nice job!!! how long have you been play this song for? probably 10 years maybe more....???

[SMehren]

Pretty neat technique you've got there...and nailed the song as well.

I am transcribing this one right now and im stuck with the double stop at about 0:58.

Are you playing A and F?

[CoolVIguy]

Nice job...a bit stiff but damn fine...spot on fretting man :)

[MauiBassPlayer1]

very nice, it inspires me

[bluenote71]

Great...where are you driving to? :)

[Adamwoodbass]

For everyone saying this video is fake please just listen to the bass and watch his fingering, it's clearly not. The vid is ever so slightly out of sync but it is definately him playing although you can hear Jaco's line underneath. I don't know this guy I just like watching good bass players.

Excellent job mate, I've just learnt this tune and it's harder than it sounds (as most Pastorius stuff is!) Great job on the F major break too, not an easy part. Keep it up!

[electrichaggis]

I'M a pro drummer and BIG Jaco fan you are fantastic bro !

[rjsbass]

i don't hear a fretted bass. the track is too loud. nice bass.

[quadbass]

Looks kinda fake. But the video and sound could just be outa sync

[sangsaratrip]

I just started learning this song

I'm trying to get the groove down

except I keep getting those natural harmonics at the 7th fret from the ghost notes

great video

I'm gonna have to use this as reference

[bluenote71]

Great job. I remember when I started playing the bass 17 year ago, my teacher gave me a chart for teen town. I couldn't play it then, and I still can't. Jaco is a reminder of what kind of player I'm not in terms of style of music.

[mookie2637]

Very nice. Just goes to show that for all of us who spend thousands on basses, the sound really is 'in your hands'. Reminds me of the other really good player on here who plays what looks like a beaten up Charvel PJ with a maple neck.

[metricfan33]

not the most exciting song but sounded fine

[Macrom4n]

Hey you're good !! btw thanks for reply all comments, no many people reply. Keep playing !!! ^^

[sprojojoing]

[sprojojoing]

True ... but I can assure you I'm not =_0

Greetings to wonderfull Denmark btw !

[sonspot3]

@BenjaminMN focus

[lisarhoran]

@BenjaminMN yeah thank god for lil wayne showing us how to make music with his actions....specifically his fantastic guitar playing.

great insight, thanks

[Xixo]

fretless precision?

[sprojojoing]

ca. 1990-1991 Fenix JB-?? Precision + Jazz mics.

Fretted, though quite low frets and (soft rosewood?)

fingerboard resulting sometimes quite frettles-like tones. Made in China(?) By Young Chang.

The tuners and electronics are crap but I like the light, resonant woods that's been used.

My 1st bass. Never going to sell it, just upgrading the tuners, electronics, mics, and a bone nut.

[untinino]

are you trying to show you can play it like the original, or that you can do your own thing with it. cause you play some of the lines right on, then you leave others out. not bad though

[sprojojoing]

erm both, I guess. I made these clips to see how it will look at Youtube, trying to inspire others, as I have seen an increase in bass-videos (in my opinion )

I've been playing these tunes years and years, so I tend to not always mimic the original, but play as there where 2 bass players originally. The clips always contains some mistakes too. Thanks for commenting mate, it's

another reason why i wanted to make my clips for.

To be continued in near future ...... lol =_0

[sprojojoing]

I have to add that in this case ... Palladium

I actually wanted to see a comment like yours,

as you seem to know the bass part well Untinino ..

heheh lol

[neurobloc]

excellant, you play real slick

[sprojojoing]

Thanks mate  : )

[sprojojoing]

that's true. Have to keep that in mind ,,,

[emilk]

seems very well. Pity I can't hear you very well through the original.
