Heathy Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Nice replica bass - shame about the frets though... Quote
TheGreek Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 HOW MUCH!!! I'd like...but not at that price... Quote
Grand Wazoo Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 [quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1394881841' post='2396213'] That bass looks fretted [/quote] Jaco played fretted on many occasions, but what we see there is probably fret lines which maybe are a tad bit bigger given the scale Quote
lemmywinks Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Definitely a fretted model. I suppose you could always pull the frets out with one of these: Personally I think it's cheap tat but each to their own! Quote
Len_derby Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 What's with the daft toy bass? Why not go all the way and have an Action Man Jaco doll too? Oh, hold on That's probably coming out for Christmas at $150 a pop. Quote
lojo Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 a bit pricey, you could buy all the CDS, and a cheapo full size jaco style bass for that Quote

paul_5 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 It's got the 'Invitation' disc instead of the unedited 'Twins'. Surely an inferior edit version shouldn't be in a box set of this price? Quote
visog Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 [quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1394875088' post='2396135'] What are discs 2 and 3 in the pile there? [/quote] [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1394924180' post='2396857'] It's got the 'Invitation' disc instead of the unedited 'Twins'. Surely an inferior edit version shouldn't be in a box set of this price? [/quote] It appears to have both!? Discs 2 and 3 look like Twins I and II, as well as the edited Invitation. Can anyone confirm? Any how, if you're a fan rather than a collector you can get the music for a fraction of the cost of this set. Quote
toneknob Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 If it is Invitation, and Twins 1 & 2, then there's not much new here - and it's confirmed in article [url="http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=40566#.UyVn7_l_t8E"]http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=40566#.UyVn7_l_t8E[/url] at All About Jazz, but which also says "the cherry of the box—other than the inclusion of a fanboy-enticing, toy-sized model of Pastorius' timeworn fretless bass, along with a miniature stand on which to to rest it—is the bonus sixth disc, The Jaco Solo Tracks: Live & Unreleased. Sixty-one minutes of mostly solo bass performances, culled from performances in Japan, England and the United States, recorded between 1978 and 1981, that reaffirm—as if it was necessary—Pastorius' inarguable position as [i]the[/i] electric bassist during his glory days" That's a lot of a wedge for one cherry.

toneknob Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Good tip, I'd forgotten about that. It's on Spotify as well, [url="http://open.spotify.com/album/4EVOMRb0Az4ArkiOgt9Q9p"]Jaco Pastorius – Honestly (Solo Live)[/url] Quote

Actually felt a bit guilty. Quote
toneknob Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Hah. I know what you mean. I'm listening now as well. It's *wavy handy* ok, bits of brilliance but gets a bit "here are some riffs I know", albeit faultlessly executed as they are. edit: So I guess that makes it ok that we're "borrowing" from it Edited March 17, 2014 by toneknob Quote
