You don't want to do that. Trust me.
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.
I take that to mean he gave the shop owner a substantial amount of cash, probably out of his own pocket. Good job Rob.

Blasphemy... why was it refinished? and are there more photos of it somewhere in it's refinished state??
I thought this bass was now owned by Jaco's old luthier (can't remember his name), but wasn't aware it was in litigation.
I'd be interested in reading more detail about the Trujillo connection.

I've always liked Trujillo, but his stock just went up in my book. Nice to read good news nowadays.
There's at least one photo with his last girlfriend Teresa and him. 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)
Good job Robert!
I saw a youtube clip of Jaco playing in (I think) Japan, and at the end, as the picture is fading out, Jaco hurls his bass into the air, and as the pic completely disappears, a tremendous "kabonnggg" is heard. Presumably, the sound of the bass crashing back to the ground. I bet something broke that time!
