ALSO, ALL OF YOU WHO REPLY TO THIS THREAD, SAYING IT'S A WASTE OF SPACE, ARE WASTING MORE SPACE BY REPLYING TO PEOPLES REPLIES. PEOPLE JUST WANT INFORMATION THAT-YOU WANNABE BASS GENIUSES HAVE, SO THROW THEM A FRICKIN' BONE INSTEAD OF ATTITUDE PAL!


I CAN TYPE BIGGER THAN YOU!
 
TO THE PERSON WHO WANTS ME TO SHOVE MY CAPS LOCK KEY UP MY WAZOO, YOU MUST GET YOUR JOLLIES OFF BY ASKING PEOPLE TO SHOVE THINGS UP THEIR WAZOO'S, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT NORMAL BUDDY. I'M JUST HERE TO TALK ABOUT BASS STUFF, I THINK THERE'S OTHER FORUM'S YOU CAN GO TO TO TALK ABOUT THAT WAZOO STUFF.
 
I once saw this really old lady, she played one of those "Gut Bucket" basses. Constructed out of an old washtub, broom handle and string.
She had the "TO DIE FOR TONE". Her technique was incredible.
I can't remember her name, but she was probably the best player I have ever seen or heard.

Jaco is far ahead of every other bassist that i have heard. He is one of the legents of the electric bass and I think he is the inspiration for most of us here.

Gary Willis, Jeff Berlin & Sean Malone are some folks that have equal or more chops so check them out.

I still love Jaco though, he was an amazing player for sure.
