[quote name='Beedster' post='158265' date='Mar 16 2008, 12:25 AM']To use the painting metaphor, Jaco's bass is more like a set of Rembrandt's paintbrushes than one of Rembrandt's paintings. Jaco's legacy is his performances, not his instrument. He would have sounded as good on any other bass, whilst very few players would have sounded/will ever sound as good on tha bass in question. Ergo, it's not the bass that's historically important.

Beedster, Ur spot on , and point taken wholeheartedly, I'm new enough to this bass game and relatively new to the world of the forum, I currently only have a couple of bass heros , Jaco , Doug Wimbish and Chuck Rainey and to be honest everytime I see Jaco he has that bass. May he rest in peace and his Bass rest in pieces.....
