  • @MrSeatibiza09 It's an Ibanez SR500F. Fretless basses often still have the fret positions marked, as this one does. Also, if you listen you can hear that the tone differs from a fretted bass.

  • ghost note... Are useless! Maybe are not, but i can't understand them! Could you explain why are important? For rithm?

  • @costa0392 Ghost notes are a rhythmic device that are used all the times in genres like funk and jazz.

    For example, slap players like Wooten and Marcus Miller might only use ghost notes in a line simply to act more as a percussion instrument. Likewise, jazz players like Ray Brown and Ron Carter use(d) ghost notes to syncopate their lines to help swing the music.

    Jaco used ghost notes here to syncopate the line, as well, which gives the riff a lot of groove.

    Jaco's
