| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Amarillo, TX | | Always respected Rob as a player of course but my overall respect for him as definitely gone way up now, thats an amazing thing to do. Quote: |
Unfortunately the owner of the shop refused to return it to the Pastorius family resulting in protracted legal squabbles. Almost two years passed before Robert was able to jump in and help make it possible for the family to settle out the case and regain control of their father's prized bass.
| I take that to mean he gave the shop owner a substantial amount of cash, probably out of his own pocket. Good job Rob.

I'd be interested in reading more detail about the Trujillo connection.

It was rebuilt by Keven Kaufman after Jaco somehow managed to shatter the thing into a million little pieces (much debate remains on how exactly he smashed it into a million pieces though)

Presumably, the sound of the bass crashing back to the ground. I bet something broke that time!
