Bass solos are like a dancing bear. It’s not that the bear is a great dancer, it’s that the bear dances at all. Jaco Pastorius, Johnny B. Gayton, and a few others could be considered the Fred Astaires of dancing bears and the exceptions that prove the rule. All other mere mortals pay homage to the pocket and groove.

Jaco-B-Gone, Bass-B-Havior and Fret-B-Gone from RedTelectronix.

A pedal of the greatest magnitude!! I’ve seen all the grousing on the various discussion boards about “busy” bass players in blues bands and the grief they can cause. Give ‘em a break guys and girls, it’s not their fault! It’s the dreaded Jaco Syndrome (no disrespect intended!). Simply insert the Jaco-B-Gone in your bass players signal chain and he or she will never know what hit them! No matter how hard they try, all that comes out is a deep, grooving, solid bass line.
