I totally agree on Infectious Grooves- Very good indeed.
But I still don't get why the family would have a right or claim to that bass.
Well... never mind.
They have claim to it because that's how the arrangements went ahead I guess. Had the bass not been stolen it would have gone to the family after Jaco died. Robert recognised that it was a family treasure and in good faith he said that it would be relinquished to the family whenever they wanted, I believe at the price he paid for it.
I just checked out one of the infectious grooves cds on amazon
Sarsippiu Ark was the name.
Why is Robert Trujillo that such a big deal? I don't doubt that he is a nice person and a decent player but from the CD I listened to my impression: it wasn't terrible but just OK for what it was.
Is there any CD in particular that might be more representative of his skills as a bass player?
As far as someone worthy of playing Jaco's bass... while I really love Marcus, How about Jeff Andrews or two brazilian guys who are incredible:Ney Conceicao and Thiago Espirito Santo? Check out some of their Youtube clips. I think they would also be very worthy contenders

All of the Infectious Grooves and Suicidal Tendencies recordings that feature Trujillo are killin in the bass department.
An incredible pocket player, soloist and a natural at playing some funky funk for sure.
Do you like Les Claypool/Primus? If you don't then you aren't likely to enjoy anything Infectious Grooves did. Sarsippius' Ark is fairly representative of Rob's playing at the time.
+1, I remember when those albums were released long before Metallica and thinking what a badass bass player!
No, that album is representative. They later got less bass heavy.
If you don't like his playing on that one, then he isn't your cup of tea. I personally like his playing way more than the TBBGs!
TBBG = TB Bass Greats
He's probably just not my cup of tea, or maybe I'm just too old
There's a bass player who plays with Whitesnake (I like them) but his other stuff doesn't do it for me, but he is an incredibly gifted guy with unbelievable chops and musicality to match. I sure hope that one day he'll find a musical situation where he can really shine. I can't remember his name but I'm not sure if Trujillo is in that league.
And by the way,yes, I never did like Les Claypool either.I just can't relate. I used to teach bass many years ago and one of my students came in with a Primus CD telling me that he really wanted to learn to play in that style. I told him that if he wanted to be sure he would never work as a bass player ever, he should keep emulating Les Claypool. I also told him that kind of playing is so far out of the mainstream that even Les would have a hard time getting a gig in anything other than Primus.
He ended up being a pretty good bassist, and I did encourage all of my guys to find their own voice. I sure hope I did right by him.

yes, Uriah, that's him.what an inspiring player.....
Hey,I see you got an Atelier Z5 too? You don't see those too often.Have you had it long? I have the 265 Tomohito Aoki model. Had to mod it a bit but what a great bass!
I purchased my Atelier Z back in 2001/2002. That same bass was featured in the Oct 97 issue of Bass Player mag, so I guess that makes my bass famous. 
There great basses.
There great basses.
...and a totally different player than trujillo is.
Hard to compare the two.
I prefer trujillo, although the bass never had much to do with me liking the infectious grooves.
When I initially wrote that Trujillo should have bring back Jaco's bass to the family I meant that that would have been the "classest" move ever since I read on here that dealing with Jaco's family it's such a classy act!
