Is this the earlist provable sighting of a 5 string acoustic bass? Nice Jensen's too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) Jaco Pastorius had a 5 string acoustic (with a high C), I think in the 70's...have to dig around for a pic. ps. who made that acoustic? I presume a UK custom builder- Fylde, Manson, Kinkade, Button? Edited March 15, 2008 by SJA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJA Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 it says elsewhere he used it on a recording in 1975. I've an old copy of Bass Player that lists basses he used- I'll have to dig it out to see if it says when it was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
