Has anyone seen the article in BP this month about the bass of doom being found? This is absolutely amazing to me. I really am floored! On the cover was Randy Jackson. Don't get me wrong, I like RJ, but the bass of doom being found should have been on the cover. This is huge! WOW! I can't wait to hear it being played on a recording, which I feel is inevitable. What an amazing event! |

Sounds great arnepe. I'm going to my grandparents'
cabin in the mountains next Saturday. It sounds
as though we both agree that a mountain cabin should be in
pact with nature and built as simple as possible 
I planned going to the jazz festival in Molde as well,
but I was apparantly too late with getting a place
to stay. The only option left would be to stay overnight
in a tent at a crowded camping spot. Those places are
usually packed with drunk people so there would be diffiuclt
to get a good nights sleep. If I'd gone there I would
love to have seen the artists you mentioned.
Have a pleasant stay there, and don't hesitate to tell
a little about your experiences. Have a great time.

Hi.
I have vacation and have spent two weeks at my mountain cabin.
I have returned home this weekend because I have some gigs at Molde Jazzfestiva, so I must practise a couple of days before the gigs.
I am also going to see Herbie Hancock, Jeff Beck and Robben Ford. |

Great clip Arnepe, it's from Weather Report's
show at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1980.
How are you doing?

This is how the "bass of doom" sounds in the hands of Jaco.

Whats the latest on this topic?
Is the bass at 30th street guitar in NY?
I understand theres a legal procedure going on of the actual ownership of BOD. Is that right? |

Honestly, I'd have preferred the bass to have stayed lost. I'm not a big fan of the way it looks now, it far too closely resembles a Fender Jazz 24, or Victor Bailey model. Even though there are pictures of Jaco holding it, for me its not the Bass Of Doom.
I'm also wondering why the person who has obviously been hiding this bass since it was stolen from Jaco has now decided to come forward. Nothing can change the fact that its a stolen instrument, it should be returned to Jaco's family.

I read the current Bass Player magazine article regarding Jaco’s bass finding. The restored Jazz Fender bass was tested by Bailey, Lee and Wooten. They were amazed with the instrument sound. They indicated that the string action was close to the fingerboard and made comments about the neck. Back in December 1984, I considered the action to be high and the neck awkward compared to my G&L. http://jpbasslessons.com/images/Jaco4.jpg The sound was awesome! I invite you to try a G&L fretless bass with Rotosound strings and you will be surprised how close is to Jaco’s sound. Lastly, I would it prefer to see Jaco’s broken bass in a glass display than transformed to the way it looks now. Many blessings to all fellow bassists. |
