HADRIEN FERAUD 'THE BASS OF DOOM SESSIONS' 

The bass of Doom in the hands of Thanos, just with his fingers he can erase us all

💯

That sax solo killed it !!! So sick.

Dave Binney is the man

Yeah, very cool 😉🔧⚙️🔥

Movie star...? How does a movie star look like in general? Like him?😂

@@matshanssen2070 I don't know, just what I thought at the moment.

Yes, a brilliant and classy person, very kind and big presence. I spoke with him a bit 5 years before at the New Morning... After a nice set of Bill Evans band with Dennis Chambers, Gary Grainger and Ulf Wakenius if I'm not wrong. A great guy for sure, and one of the most gifted jazz musician of our times... As we all know! Very very good composer too...

I'm not wrong... 😅 Wakenius was very inspired and powerful ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4-cDp5PnjTw.htmlsi=_6ohIrzOsjIpitxc Bill is a killer here

Dream o clock

THE fretless bass.

WTF? It isn’t the same ACTUAL instrument mate! The original BoD is long gone and lost. Moreover, Jaco’s bass NEVER had a flame-maple top. Also, really not sure what you’re listening to but the bass Hadrien is playing sounds VERY different from the BoD. The huge mwah and the really growling aspects simply aren’t present to the same extent as with the original BoD. Maybe listen again, wearing headphones or something as it’s really quite an obvious difference, especially if you’re a fretless or upright bass player. 😱🤯

@@aaronperelmuter8433 Actually, it is - when the bass was found, the body was smashed into several pieces. It was glued back together and the flame maple top was added to hide the cracks. It’s all in Bill Milkowski’s book, plus Robert Trujillo wouldn’t have paid a million dollars for it if it didn’t have the correct provenance. And, if course it’s not going to sound identical in this clip. Hadrien is playing it, not Jaco, and it’s not going through a big Acoustic 370, but you can definitely hear that signature tone. Incidentally, I am a fretless player. :) [edit] This is what happened: “In 1986, the bass was repaired by luthiers Kevin Kaufman and Jim Hamilton, after it had been broken into many pieces. After the repair Pastorius recorded a session with Mike Stern, then the bass was stolen from a park bench in Manhattan in 1986. It was found in a guitar shop in 2006, but the shop owner refused to give it up. The Pastorius family enlisted lawyers to help but nearly went bankrupt in 2010. Robert Trujillo, bassist for Metallica, considered Pastorius to be one of his heroes, and he felt that the family ought to have the bass. Trujillo helped pay to have it returned to them, though he has used it live and is its custodian.” Do a search on here for “bass of doom” - there’s clips of Felix Pastorius playing it (who, dare I say, has become an even better bass player than his dad was), as well as other greats, including Wooten, Bailey and so on.

@@DaddyStoat Really? Wow, cool. I’ve got a copy of Bill’s book but don’t remember reading about the flame maple top, gonna have to give it a thorough re-reading. Thanks mate.👍

@@aaronperelmuter8433 There’s a vid on here of Felix using it to record with the Yellowjackets, and he talks a bit about the history of the instrument, and his “joint custody” situation with it. This is it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XWocurALC1A.htmlsi=mV4F91lrR4TS5TaH I think the BOD was mentioned in the second edition of Milkowski’s book - there were various inaccuracies in the first edition that were subsequently revised.

No it isn’t!! This is a new bass from the Fender Custom Shop!! Jaco’s BoD NEVER had a flame maple top on it. This one doesn’t sound the same as the original either, different strings, different lacquer coating on the fingerboard and different wood for the body. Not to mention the pickups and electronics are VERY different from the one and only BoD, which has sadly been lost to time after it was stolen. 😱🤯

​​@@aaronperelmuter8433Incorrect. The reason this bass looks different is because it was restored by Kevin Kaufman after Jaco himself requested it. Jaco broke the bass into many pieces and thus Kaufman repaired it. Yes different wood had to be used to fill in the gaps but even after this, Jaco was pleased with it. There is a picture of Jaco with this bass after the work was different. Same top and all. I can't speak if the strings or electronics changed but this is the Bass of Doom.

Except it isn’t being played again. This is a re-issue, Jaco’s bass NEVER had a flame maple top on it. This is from the Fender Custom Shop.

​@@aaronperelmuter8433isnt this the bass Trujillo found and recovered and had restored??

​@@jkblightIt is

Listen to real jazz and you will change your mind but this is still great

Nice story if it was true. This is NOT the original BoD which Jaco played. It’s a new Fender Custom Shop instrument. How can you not see this one has a flame maple tip on it?

@@aaronperelmuter8433 ricksuchow.com/rebuilding-the-bass-of-doom-added-2-21 Pleasure’s mine.

@@HADRIENFeraud Thanks for sharing that.

Jack is dead. He can’t smile.

this is exactly the bass that Jaco plays? Or just the same model? Or one of basses Jaco uses?

thats the bass as it was in his hands. the bass was smashed and rebuilt by kevin kaufman while jaco still had it. It was in so many pieces that a veneer or cap was used to make it look better. search on google for kevin kaufman jaco and you'll see a picture of the two with the bass.

​@bjornedvardsson5510 i believe that it's a bass that Jaco had been playing for a while and then destroyed during one of his live shows.

Actually it is EXACTLY like when it was in Jaco's hands. Jaco himself had this restoration done by Kevin Kaufman in 1986 right before it was stolen

@@chickenzwingsanywhere we can learn more about this?

There isn’t one, it’s a different instrument. This one was built by Fender Custom Shop.
