Bilbo Posted June 13, 2013 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?

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! Quote

The one about the "very inexperienced listener" or the one that sounds like a question to a bunch of 4 year olds Quote

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. Quote
