    Jaco's playing here reeks with the sadness of what was to come. Brilliance touched by illness and violence. Beauty with a premonition of loss. I struggle when I hear these notes. So incredibility talented , so gifted, so doomed....

      @@svenjansen2134 Jimi wasn't mentally ill. Jaco was. Jimi's choice drugs were amphetamines and Mandrax. Jaco's was alcohol.Jaco played basketball with anyone who'd take him on.He was often seen homeless on the streets with a basketball in one hand and a Fender Jazz bass in the other. Jimi was not athletic after leaving the Army in 1962.Jaco was beaten to death in Florida by a martial arts expert with a violent history. Jimi choked on his own vomit in London. Tell me again how much alike they were.

      Greg Hufton It's because the majority do not understand the function of the Bass and how it fits into a musical scenario. The vast majority put little effort into understanding that and simply, grab a pick and follow their guitar player and call themselves a "Bass" player. Within 2-3 minutes I can clearly tell a good bassist from a shit bassist based on those principals.

      So true. I want a bass guitar but I can't afford one at the moment but Jaco motivated me to the point where I downloaded a virtual bass and I'm practicing with that. Also, by just watching one video on how to read tabs, I know how to play the main "chorus" of Continuum. That's how much Jaco made me appreciate this instrument and has motivated me. Would've loved to meet him if he would've been still alive nowadays.

    as a bassist that started in the late 90s and took private jazz lessons, yet was a metalhead... his use of effects and just absolute riff mayhem paired with melodic expression on this one expanded my concept of the instrument! especially his appropriate use of fx where they enhance the intention, rather than be a binding contract to a sound!

      HADRIENFeraud LOL. It's been 29 years and nothing has happened to Luc yet. Hell, if he's anything like me he probably sleeps like a baby every night knowing that Jaco is worm food. One less drugged out tax burden.

    In 1987 I as given a Fender base with a broken head and very worn fretboard. I fixed the head, stripped, sanded, stained and oiled the entire quitar (lot's of sandpaper and a few grams of organic meds!).
    I removed the frets and 2mm off the fretboard.
    It was satin finished, old tool beautiful!
    I was working at BP in Cape Town and gave it to Peter, groundfloor security who played in a Jazz band with Sax legend Ezra...

    He and Bernard Edwards are the only contenders for the title "Jimi Hendrix of the bass." That's why he plays 3rd stone from the Sun.

      @MagickFlavour 8 років тому +1

      +Tye Wolfe I'd argue Les Claypool can also be a contender, but his playing style is so weird I don't think he can really be called the "(insert guitar player) of bass players." That can also be said with Jaco too.

      Dawson Lee Burton is definitely top dog in many aspects. But theres also Billy Sheehan, Bunny Brunel and Victor Wooten (to name a few) that can compete with Jaco not only on the same level but styles that either compliment or out do his playing.

    Jaco was amazing and I always find "who is the best" debates to be worthless, but there is no REAL debate as to who was the first innovator of the electric bass guitar. The Who's John Entwistle was the first musician to turn the electric bass into a lead instrument and Thunderfingers somehow got better as he got older. IMO, Entwistle and Pastorius are 2 of the Top 5 electric bass guitar players of all-time.

    Jaco - the best ever poet on electric bass in modern jazz... he's not only manic energy and brilliant technic... he is far beyond - always tryin new tunes from Weather Report to he's own bands, new ways of playin old stuff on he's style and so on - a masterclass genius.
