Jaco is seen here playing "The Bass Of Doom."Jaco’s main fretless as he dubbed “The Bass Of Doom” has been found after disappearing sometime just before his death back in 1986. According to Bassplayer magazine the bass showed up at the New York apartment of, session bassist and member of the David Letterman’s Late Night Show band, Will Lee. An unnamed party brought the bass to Lee’s apartment. The bass was smashed by Jaco during an argument and was glued back together. Jaco had the bass restored with a wood veneer and does not resemble what was once thought of as the one seen in photo’s of Jaco with him playing. This marks a very significant find in the bass community. I will post the Bassplayer online article when it’s readily available.
