What a great story Wolf! Every bass player's fantasy come true! Were you playing a Jazz Bass at the time, or P Bass? Did you get any pictures with Jaco?

Rusty, no pics , It was the early 1980's and I did not carry a camera around with me very often back then. I had my P Bass.

Bummer! At least you got Jaco's fingerprints on your bass!

I've been using an Acoustic 370 head for about 7 years now; it is killer and SO reliable I could probably play it in a rainstorm and not worry...it has many times run for 10 hours straight without any problems...I bought a backup(okay, it was free...)but it will likely never be needed. The cabs however are crazy; they made some nutty stuff...a former bandmate had a 4x15 cab, folded horn; kinda like an Ampeg 8x10 but taller and deeper...when we went to a minivan, it had to go...
Taylor, have you ever watched a Hartke cab die? the cab that bass player got after the Acoustic did; clearly those aluminum cones have a finite lifespan; I watched his cab go from one little crack in one cone to three shattered speakers in one practice...Tony.

If I could have been so lucky to meet Jaco. He's my all time Bass Idol. But this past summmer I was VERY privileged to have met Ron Carter at the Montreal Jazz Festival.

I met Ron Carter at a show in San Francisco . He autographed the program guide for me. It was an awesome show. He was leading a 9 bass ensemble. He had his little acoustic piccolo bass. It was quite an innovative ensemble. Saturday May 18th 1996 ,Herbst Theatre ; I still have the ticket stubs !
