Lowender Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Just thought I'd bring up a point about the subjectivity of music because, well, it's a discussion board.

risingson Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Having just contributed to a thread concerning the overall subjectivity involved in music it seems unfortunately ironic that you're attempting to cause more commotion on the board with this given subject.

[/quote] Yes. Stirring up a hornets nest comes to mind. Improvisation is what it is, made up as you go along. Sometimes it works really well, others it's just awful and most of the time it's just OK. I'm a big fan of Gary Willis' playing. Even he, as a master of the instrument, doesn't quite do it for me every time. The videos on youtube are only a few from JP's entire career, cut short as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Post a video of his 'bad' playing From what I can recall, he is pretty precise and made a style pretty much his own. I was never that convinced with his Acoustic amp set-up through a big 18" but that apart, he sounded good...and certainly better than a whole host of his contempories. It is like a lot of things... he was a standard of his day..it might not be so very great now as things move on but in context back then, there weren't many who could get close.... IMO. IIRC, it was either Stanley or Jaco in the electric camp in the mid 70's.. Ditto Hendrix, etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Are we addressing 'live' sound, or 'studio' sound..? Joni Mitchell's 'Hejira' (among others...) seems pretty well tops, to me, for studio. There are several 'live' Jaco Youtubes, though, where it's pretty painful; some of the playing is 'special', too. To coin a phrase, and simply imho: 'When it was good, it was very, very good; when it was bad it was rotten'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duo Core or Quad core ? How much RAM....? Are you using your on board sound card ? or a USB Audio Interface ? What nearfields ? or are you using headphones ? Because this stuff makes a big difference when listening to Bass sounds/Music. Hope this all helps while listening to Jaco. Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sausage Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 When i was a newbie here i started athread about Macca as a bass player as i had never encountered anyone who said he was an influence. It went epic in length( Fnurr fnurr) and tits up with insults in the end. So when i saw that beatles thread i stayed away. Looks like i was right! Also i mentioned in a thread a couple of weeks ago that since the new year there seems to be a little more negativity than usual, but people said....YOU'RE WRONG, SHUT THE f*** UP, well maybe not but it was alluded to that it hadn't!
