@1980Triumph

Are you serious?? Jaco tone deaf?? Well this "tone deaf" and "overrrated" bassist composed music that Stanley Clarke hasn't been able to come close to( and he is alive today), and he could function in any setting. I guess jazz/fusion legends Zawinul and Shorter decided they wanted to hire a "tone deaf" bassist for their legendary band...What nonsense! Even Stanley would ridicule that comment. Besides, stop using youtube as a reference for what Jaco could do live.

Jaco had more music inside him than any of you haters could ever dream of having. Try putting your pick down and learn Teen Town or Chromatic Fantasy and see if your still saying he is no good.... RIP JACO

@TheDsheike Comparing musicians is immature. The true fact is that there only exist more talented musicians then others.

[markfogarty1954]

Jaco had both a fretted '62 Fender Jazz bass (or was it '60?) and a fretless '62 jazz bass. Fender didn't make a fretless in 62 so Jaco or someone else pried off the frets, the stories go both ways. Jaco fnished it with boat epoxy (!). He played both these guitars to pieces as you can see here. Unfortunately both basses were stolen from him. The fretless "bass of doom" showed up again 20 years later.

I don't see "shiny bars" but either way it wouldn't matter. The guy is great, WAS great. Doesn't matter now, he's dead. Still love listening and playing along with my iPod. Jaco's timing sensabilities were incredible and his ear for pitch incredible as well.

That is all

[TheDsheike]

Read down.... Frets or not Jaco was a terrific bassist.... The best? No, certainly not but he was still fantastic. There are loads of other basssts out there that are all as good and better.

There, that should start something

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

@TheDsheike then you wouldent see shiny bars of metal where the frets should be

[woodshopart]

holy canoli, thanks floem88!

first time seeing this

[FuryMuso]

@TheJsdrewes A great comment ot make. I'm a 23 year old bass player, i've been playing just over 5 years and it's taken me that long to figure that out. Use technicality and theory to your advantage, learn it and discover what aspects of it make you tick and you're on your on your way to being your own player and a more complete player.

@ProfessorJones7 Jaco is BEST at being Jaco. Right on Professor. If you wanna keep score, go back to the golf course and play with your putz.

[Basstorius333]

@emepe56 oh wow. old post is old. He is using a fretted here lol.

[teecubed333]

@visog yeah that part's killin

[eloC311]

@TheDsheike they arent dude, just by the tone he is getting you can tell its fretted

[visog]

I know Jaco is ripped on this but he still plays amazingly. As does the drummer here him echo an improvised phrase at 0:44 with rim shots.

[brucemoeller]

Has anyone seen his accordion solo? All I can say is. . . that accordion was happy.

[dr05guitar]

that calypso thing they go into is sweet

[XrisikosTonPernei666]

without jaco their would be no others

[colmcb311]

My anesthesiologist for my wisdom teeth had Jaco and the guys from Weather Report stay at his apartment back in the day... that or the anesthesia was making me trip balls. I believe him tho lol

[InNomineNostriSatan]

Blastbeat at 6:11

[ericwolff6]

listen to scofield walk!

[TheDsheike]

@bellsonrich What???? That's like saying that a Michael Jordan was only as good as the shoes he wore..

[TheDsheike]

@tapkae The frets ARE missing... He pulled the frets and filled the holes (voids) back in.
