I only got into Jaco this Spring, a live show of his was on Sky Arts as I was flicking through and I was blown away. Then begun the diving into Wikipedia and all other Jaco videos, including the fantastic documentary about him. My better half bought me the album for my birthday and it's been on the turntable most days since then.


The live show in question, I believe to be from later in his career when his issues were really beginning to take hold

I'm not sure where the Mrs got it, but it's the Music on Vinyl label's reissue. I gave it another blast this afternoon

Didn't realize you'd made 2 more, that's awesome! Any particular reason? Backup guitars for a band theme or just practicing paint skills?

Thanks a lot. I really love them to play. But i will sell them to get new material for the next one. Just love to hang in my studio, drinking beer, making stencils, spray some stuff and listen and play music... Since corona i had no bandpractising and i compensate it with doing stuff like this.

How is the Squier Thinline? I've always lusted after a Thinline with wide range pickups.

Probably my favourite of the lot. Really good neck and quite lightweight. The pickups are great aswell although I can't compare them to OG Wide Rangers.

Still needs some tweaking but good so far. Tempted to grab another cause they're so cheap.

I was lucky enough to have a four-new-guitar 2020: 1964 Hofner Galaxie 176, 1990 MIK Casino, 1972 Greco Tele, 1965 Yairi classical.

I like the Kills vibes of that Hofner. Jamie Hince said in the gear rundown video those are the cleanest pickups he ever played

70s odball Greco tele is awesome too. I wonder how heavy they are

The Greco feels just like any other Tele weight wise, I have a few 70s Grecos and some early Fender Japans and they are more or less the same. And yeah I heard about the Kills connection on the Hofner, but I think these pickups are slightly different? If anything they are a bit shrill, I need to look at the wiring and see what's what ...
Thanks for the feedback tho! I miss my guitars, I had to pack them all to move house and at the moment I only have the Casino (yeah, poor me).
