Bilbo Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 This video of Frank Gambale with Jaco has a long stretch at the start where FG is playing with and bass player and drummer. It would be a very inexperienced listener who did not recognise Jaco in a second but what is interesting is the bass he is playing is not his. Can you guess what make of bass it is?

Bilbo Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1371153970' post='2110692'] It looks like a JayDee. [/quote] Of course it but it sounds like Jaco. I have nevrr been convinced that certain brands of basses have a distinctive sound and, for me, this adds to the argument that, whatever instruments we play, we sound like us!

He is a superbly talented player, but I find some of his lines so 'outside' that he takes it a bit far. When he is on form though, he is brilliant.
