ras52 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Someone puts on a Joni Mitchell CD. - Have you heard the ones with Jaco Pastorius? - No, who's he? - A pioneering fretless bass player. - Who else has he played with? - He's probably best known for playing with Weather Report. . . . . . - Are they the ones who did "It's Raining Men?"

daz Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 When i bought the Jaco Pastoriuos cd, the guy in the shop asked me if i was a bass player (or more like confirmed it for himself) He said that he always asked whenever anyone bought one, which only happened 3 or 4 times a year, and that he had yet to find anyone buying one who was not a bass player. I asked him if [i]he[/i] was a bass player and of course he was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 This just illustrates that Bass players , including Jaco Pastorious, are pretty much a minority interest in the wider world. I'd never heard of Jaco Pastorious until I discovered this site (and I'm still not a fan). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
