He should give it to the children of Jaco. Its their Dads bass no matter who has it. We call it Jaco’s bass because its the bass he used so much and is an object that connects Jaco to a world he no longer physically exists in. He does however live on in spirit and his DNA is all over that bass, his literal blood sweat and tears. A part of his soul is in that bass. These type of situations are nothing like buying a car. Its unusual because these people are loved and they arent mere mortals. They are wealthy in the extreme and talented in the extreme. I would want to give it to the kids of Jaco because its a nice thing to do for some kids that lost their Dad.

And why should he do that exactly?

Do you let the previous owner of your basses have them in their possession until you want/need them?

Try swapping the word "bass" for anything else you own and see if you want to 'compromise' your rights and possession with a previous owner just because it was 'dear' to them.

When the last owner of your car comes round, I assume you'll be allowing him 'fair' access to use it?

It's slightly different due to the emotional attachment. If the car you mentioned was the car of ayrton senna and his family wanted access to it, I'd be understanding as to why they had an attachment.
