Jaco Pastorius playing electric bass guitar

[@TravisGlover-TheArtfulDodger]

Apparently his signature fretless bass was stolen before he filmed this bass instructional series and had to use this one instead, but all of his 'hallmarks' are still there.

[@isaachermanson8559]

It’s not about the instrument. He stills sounds like jaco without the jaco bass

[@TravisGlover-TheArtfulDodger]

@@isaachermanson8559 Preach it!

[@JacoPastoriusArchive]

No, it wasn't. It was stolen around mid-1986. I think he didn't use it here because it was being repaired, but I can't remember for sure.

[@olisonic6577]

What a spaz!!!

That's the effects of alcohol.

[@williambradley8004]

Fuck you,he was a genius.

[@mejsjalv]

Quite odd to see him and hear him with a fretted bass. Sounds pretty much like a different bassist.

WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS MAN'S DEATH??

[@spaghettiopizza8686]

he had years-undiagnosed bipolar disorder and he stopped taking his meds (lithium) because it made his arms numb, making it impossible for him to play his instrument. he was also a drug addict. he was trying to get into a club while on the influence and “got into a fight” with the bouncer (got pushed over and hit his head very badly) and died in hospital. it’s a very sad death. i just hope he was at least semi content with the good he had done while he was here

[@sidneymiller9412]

No the bouncer acutually beat him into a coma then then doctors said his head was like fractured and he died to his wounds

[@nickg4856]

Jesus fucking Christ
