    For sale 2008 Fender Custom Shop Jaco Pastorius

    This was the bass I always dreamed of, it really is an amazing bass and easily the best Fender I have owned. It just so happened that I picked up a Custom Jazz by a local luthier before I got the Jaco which just sounds better to me in every context. It's in excellent condition, comes with...

    Jaco's solo before Continuum on the Twins album

    Hi, On the Twins live album recorded in the early 80s, Jaco plays something really really good and interesting, before blending it into Continuum (not that Continuum was bad in any way). Give it a listen!

    Jaco in 1983, photos

    Back in early '84 I watched Jaco & Mike Stern play a duo gig at Bradley's in NYC. I sat right up close and got to watch him intently. My girlfriend at the time took two photos of him on my little Kodak Instamatic, and when we broke up she asked me for the prints. Up until yesterday I only had...

    Playing Jaco lines fingerstyle on a Bass VI... ouch! (Continuum)

    It looks like string spacing on a Bass VI is something that has already been addressed in the past (Bass VI string spacing) but today I just did a video of something I stubbornly wanted to do: play a bass solo with the pizzicato technique and "standard" fingering on my Bass VI instrument! Boy...

    Jaco's tone for those who saw him LIVE or met him

    Due to chronological reasons, in the mid 80s I was too young to even know about 4 strings on a neck, let alone know of him. This is why I'm asking how his tone was (in terms of - rather obviously - memory recall of aural perception) for those here on TB who had the chance to see him play during...

    Would Jaco have played a six-string?

    Titles says it all. If Jaco's career wasn't cut short would he have come to play a six-string bass? I'd say undoubtedly so. Through the mid to late 80's the six string bass became synonymous with Jazz Fusion. Jaco being a man of experimentation, one could only imagine what he may have done!

    The true story about Jaco Pastorius:

    Following story was originally posted by me in this thread: Why did Jaco remove the pickguard? , but though it turned out so well and even quite plausible an explanation that I had to do a thread of it's own for it. It's a common misconception that the famous Bass of Doom has no pickguard...
