musicbassman Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Well, here's an interesting little piece - Thundercat's appearance will confuse your Mum, but here he talks eloquently about the role of bass within a band and chooses some favourite influential bass lines. Enjoy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolo Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I was pleasantly surprised by his cameo in the Book of Boba Fett series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Some interesting stuff. He's a clever bloke. It's a shame there was nothing going back to his metal days, Cream were a million miles away from what Suicidal played. No matter how many times I hear Jaco, I just don't get it.

I'm not going to say his music is bad and anyone who likes it is wrong. I'm just saying that personally, I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Loving his choices... Bright guy and a real artist. You don't have to like Jaco but consider the situation. Fact is when he did 'Portrait of Tracy', most players had mostly used harmonics to tune their basses. Jaco manifests harmonics as chords with fretted notes and made a great tune from it. All this in the late 70's. It's part of the vocabulary now but back then it was heresy. Much love TC and Jaco, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
