I'm a Guitar Player

[Old Garage-Bander]

My friend who is quite active on this board put me up to this, didn't think any one would respond to it.

With friends like that, who needs enemas?

I'll kindly leave I mean you guys actualy seem cool and from what I have heard this is a pretty good forum.

You’re welcome to stick around.
Plenty to be had here that applies to that thing you do, up there in the higher registers.

Jaco actually needed four carrots.

Jaco needed professional help.
If he got it, he’d be a TB member.
Another sad story.

Brushy needs only one.

Kinda sounds like a Dave Matthews influenced tune...

 

[Real Soon]

Cool, now go learn a second thing and report back next week.

-Listen... Fellow bassists.... Running the whole music show in a band is a lot of responsibility. Because everyone else does as we say without thinking, we must refrain from sending other band members on fool's errands. They are foolish enough as is. Have pity my friends.

Brushy needs only one.

Mark only needed two

 

[Joedog]

Only know one thing? Where the heck did you go to school?

 

[Rib 13]

No. Especially a Jazz Bass. Crap playability. Crap build quality. Crap hardware...

Mmm Yes. I can feel the salt levels growing already.

nah, youre still not using the right bait.....now,if you wouldve said that about P basses, you may have found some takers..................

Had Jaco lived long enough to see the ERB emerge from obscurity, he may have picked up a five or six string and let everyone know that, while he may have only needed four, he could make great use of those extra strings. I believe he would've shown us all a thing or two beyond what is speculated that he "needed".

Well the first commercial 5 string basses went on the market in 1984 (Yamaha BB I have read here).
Even before that in the beginning of the 80's there were a few 5 and 6 string custom basses around. Jaco died in 1987. So he must have tried 5 or 6 string basses. Guess he didn't like it enough to do concerts or recordings with it. Maybe it just wasn't his thing.

Aww man! You swallowed the troll-bait!

Who the hell is jaco??

 

[Les Fret]

I know! Can't resist trolls...

I'm a guitar player, but man I know one thing and it's that Jaco only needed 4 strings.

And you need six... kind of speaks volumes there....just kidding, have a good one

I asked a (very famous) bass playing friend of mine if he ever thought of going fretless...and he said "too many people compare you to Jaco"...I told this to my wife and she said "what's a Jaco?" (true story)
