Cool thank you , never seen this one before , what an odd bass.

[AlphaMale]

Remind's me of his student's bass. That one with the really long neck. I can't remeber that guy's name.

It's Mørch bass. Go to http://www.morch-guitars.dk/ for more.

This picture came up in a brawl topic about how may strings is ideal for a bass.
someone said Jaco never needed more than 4 strings, then someone posted this.

To quote a long term TB member.....

"If you're counting strings, you're not listening."

I've had my share of disagreements with Brad, but on this subject we definitely agree.

Religion Politics and talking about Jaco on Talk Bass is always a brawl.

I was looking at both Celinder and Mørch before getting my MTD. I really want a Danish bass before I move back to England. Then when I get to England I'll get something quality made there. Ideally a Wal, but that's not really possible, sadly. Something else...

Back on topic - I've never seen Jaco's Mørch... I'm not too fond of it, from that picture. Did he not use it much?

Something is making me think it is a picture in the Heavy Weather Albumn, by Weather Report.

That's a Guild Pilot bass. The 5th string is a high C.

No no no, look at the headstock. That's no way that's a Pilot.
Check out the Mørch head on his site. It's a dead-on match.
Plus i know jaco had one and it is not the first time this pic has been up.

I don't think he played it that much. Can't remember why. Think something about getting it too late(before his death) or maybe stolen.
As i recall WR was on tour in Dk and jaco tried a Mørch, liked it and order one.
Maybe one of this boards Mørchheads could help out???

And yes i think its a high C!

I was gonna say, I heard that he had gotten this one quite late on and so it never saw a great deal of playing. Never seen a picture of him with it before though!

He also ordered a fretted and a fretless Jaydee, but was killed before he got them. Funnily enough, I'm just sitting here listening to "The Juggler" by Weather Report. Jaco is just the man.
