Jaco's Jazz Bass

[Wade10987]

Jaco just came to mind as the only player who really just plays one KIND of bass. I know he had his fretted and unfretted models, but he apparently had absolutely no interest in any other type of bass than The Fender Jazz Bass.

Cliff Burton is infamous for his Ric, but he had his Arias and Alembic. Flea is pretty well known for MMs, Moduluseseses (or would plural be Moduli?), and even for the Jazz Bass too.

Virtually everyone I can think of has other instruments, even if just for one song.

What do you guys think? Just curious, I bet somebody out there can identify another player with such (not only brand but) model loyalty.

James Jamerson and his Fender P?

 

[Wade10987]

ahh duh. That should have been obvious. Those two have their stories.

I knew there were others just curious who would come up.

I can't recall seeing Roger Waters play anything but a P-Bass.

^ He played a Ric in the early days before switching to Fender.

Nathan East seems to stick to the Yamahas, and Will Lee has been hanging in there with sadowsky for a while.

 

[NickLomango]

Chris Squire and his Mapleglo 4001CS Rickenbacker...

Pino = Precision

Anthony Jackson = Carl Thompson Custom 6

Actually Jaco was a lot more specific than Fender Jazz bass. His preference was for Aug '61 to Aug '62 Fender Jazz bass!

Cheers

Steve Harris {iron maiden} p-bass.

 

[lj7]

Not that I'm necessarily pushing the yamaha wheelbarrow here but John Patitucci, Billy Sheehan and Mike Anthony seem to have stuck with them for decades now, although I acknowledge that previously Sheehan was a p-bass devotee and JP was known for his Ken Smith.

No, he didn't care that much.

Us older guys would say Pino = a fretless MM Stingray.

Whoa! Is that a fiver!? Well live and learn. I could have sworn Jaco never touched a fiver in his life. Thanks for this eye opener
