That's why I wrote Yves only needs 2 and put his versions of Teen Town and Donna Lee.
But Yves Carbonne also plays a 12 strings (no octave) fretless bass, so he plays (like I do) whatever he wants or what the music needs at that moment.
It's not lame to say every time someone points out a fiver, sixer or higher "Jaco only needed 4", when he's known to have played a fiver for some time: it's just silly stupid.
He used a 3 strings double bass, just like any player of the same period, definitely not a 1 string double bass. 😉
That said he played a few instruments too including guitar and violin...
I ate something in Birmingham, but never knew what it was as I couldn't understand a single word of the waitress at the station.
Thought I landed in Russia. 🤦🏻♂️
That said Ernest Tibbs is a hell of a player, I saw him live a few times with Protocol, and when Simon Phillips starts to become tricky, he closes his eyes and starts counting, you can see it on his face...
