What type of bass did Jaco famously use?
Fretless bass
Double bass
Electric upright bass
Acoustic bass
Answer
Jaco Pastorius, renowned for his innovative bass playing, famously used a fretless bass. Unlike traditional fretted basses, fretless basses lack the raised metal strips that divide the fingerboard into semitones. This allows for a smoother, more fluid playing style, enabling Jaco to create his signature sound characterized by sliding notes, harmonics, and percussive techniques.
