THEY TURNED ME INTO A NEWT!
Lars invented the vuvuzela.........
He needed someway to amplify the hot air out his ass.
spot the children.!!!.the bass is just a guitar..nothing more.so what if he uses it thats what it was built for!if you had bought it would you use it??and as he payed for it its his to do what he wants.rob imo did the right thing for his own reasons...kind of sad to see so called bass players bitching over whos better than who..if you like certain types of music thats fine if not thats fine too,does not make it of any less value..if you want to be a better player you have to open your ears and mind to all types of music.. the music is in the player not the instrument,,jacos bass is just an old fender..
If I were him I'd bust out some sandpaper and get to relicing it to it's former condition. Also, put some frets on that thing. Doesn't he know that defretting it hurts resale value?
Dammit. There went my next one (Metallica refretted the Bass of Doom). Good call.

In an attempt to protest paper ballots in the year 2000, Metallica invented "hanging chads".

No word on "should he play or should he give it to the Pastorius family", but if I had that bass in my hands I would never risk taking it to the road. I mean, the thing is really a gem, historical and we have heard stories about stolen "big name's" guitars, like the guy from REM and Adrian from Iron Maiden. I see it like a Picasso painting or something like that, I would keep it as safe as possible.
I could see someone doing that. I on the other hand wouldn't give it to anyone. I'd sell it to whoever would pay the most for it and in the event that it did go to the Pastorius family I'd hand it to Felix and only Felix.
An essential component of his St. Anger snare tone. Oh, and Metallica helped Sadaam bury the WMDs.
Metallica knows what's coming in 2012 and the only way to find out will be to buy the album they release on December 20th of that year. Good luck!

And promptly realized that that they made the biggest mistake of their lives.
Metallica is responsible for all of Stephen Hawking's physical maladies and none of his genius.
