[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1453755786' post='2962535'] I'm surprised there aren't more 4 string players. I certainly can't remember the last time I played a gig and someone in the other bands had a 5 stringer. Infact...I can but only because I sold him it! [/quote] Same. I've rarely seen a 5-string at a gig.

Both equally important to me.

I'd recommend heavier strings on a short scale: 110-50 to overcome flabbiness. They can be a bit dull sounding.

I'll always associate him with Joe Zawinul''s exotic Latin Jazz compositions and being an equal part of one of the greatest bands of all time. Context is everything and people may prefer his Joni Mitchell and Weather Report stuff to the intense spotlight focused on his bass in the solo albums. His role in the development of bass playing is so obvious it hardly needs a mention.

[i]Far[/i] too many to mention. This is a ridiculous task.

Sunday's gig in a chilly but pleasant venue featuring my one-note per chord bass line. http://youtu.be/RpvkF1T7xCE
