@buefyYT ,

Bass of Doom vs. Funk Machine? I don't know about that. Not sure that Jaco and J.J. would want their instruments fighting over stupid shit... LOLz. \m/

Hey COTTON mouth or what the fuck ever your name is, suck my COCK. You need to shut the fuck up and educate yourself and get with the program. You have no idea what you're talking about and frankly need your skull cracked for ya. Go practice? Listen prick... I'm a veteran musician and am well respected in my area. I've worked hard to get where I'm at and no bitch ass pussy motherfucker like you can even come close to challenging that. Do yourself a favor, go find a skyscraper and jump off. Dick.

Well put, Royster. I can't wait to see this happen. I just pray that it does in our lifetime. It's the single most important instrument in the world. Thanks for your support.

I don't think Bob Babbitt has the funk machine. I've seen his bass. It's in far too good of condition to be the real one. Good thought though!

Mark,

Thanks bro... just trying to do what is right. Some haters don't like my shorts... lol, but fuck them. Thanks for being a human musician who cares. I just want that bass where it belongs. In the hands of the Jamerson family. It's just what has to happen. Please keep your eyes peeled as well. Please also make a vid of your own about this if you want to really help. Props to you man... thanks again!

Mine is an American re-issue. So I confessed...

The Funk Machine is like a second Holy Grail

[jeansbass]

I've met Bob Babbitt, and he told me that Jamerson could have done the same damn thing with ANY Mexican made p-bass, that's how good he was, it 's not the Holy Grail at all..of course it would be cool to find his bass...

[buefyYT]

hmmm, Bass of Doom vs. Funk Machine.. :p

[youreastupid]

thats a nice bass you got? is that a reissue?

[vegaarturo]

Wear some jeans next time bud, those shorts make it uncomfortable to watch the video,

Regardless of how I found it, there's no way I'd keep it for myself. I would send it to the Jamerson family at the first chance I got, and not ask for anything in return. It's almost impossible to play because of the action and condition it's in and it really belongs to the Jamerson family. If you keep it you're stealing it too.

@PJtheBassPlayer Chill man no one is stealing your donuts =p Seriously though, I wasnt aware of this story thanks for posting.

@PJtheBassPlayer Are you fucking joking me?Does this bozo really think that this bass is sitting in a pawnshop,or a yardsale,or in a music shop ETC,It would'nt suprise MANY to find out it was an inside job,it's no secret there was substance abuse going on w/James himself and VERY close family members, reliable people in that circle say its been all but proven it was sold for an exhuberant amount of money to insure it stays off the radar, possibly to drive up the value even more. PJ Go practice
