Now forgive ageing eyes but who is it and do you know what the amps are in the backgroung?

Does the fact that I once played a Fender Jazz bass gain me any credits at all???

Re: 9 More CDs for Sale
Jaco was solely responsible for taking the electric bass out of the dark ages just as Hendrix done with the elecric guitar,he ripped the frets out and the rest is history.As well as Weather Report he played those ground breaking lines on Joni Mitchell's Mingus,Shadows and Light,Hejira and Don Juan's Reckless Daughter.When my son started playing bass at 7 years old he wanted to rip the frets out of his fender jazz so as he could sound like Jaco
