Prior to 1982 his main instruments included a 1973 Fender Precision Bass, a 1973 Fender Jazz bass fitted with a 1975 Precision neck, and a Gibson EB-2D bass. įrom 1982 onwards Jackson almost exclusively played a contrabass guitar. The logical conception for the bass guitar encompasses six strings. The only reason it had four was because Leo Fender was thinking in application terms of an upright bass, but he built it along guitar lines because that was his training. Why is four the standard and not six? As the lowest-pitched member of the guitar family, the instrument should have had six strings from the beginning. When asked what he thought of criticism of the six-string bass, Jackson replied, Jackson said that the idea for adding more strings to the bass guitar came from his frustration with its limited range. He later approached luthier Ken Smith to build him a six string bass before finally playing instruments made by New York-based bass makers, Fodera. He first performed on the Thompson-built bass in 1975, recording with Carlos Garnett and touring with Roberta Flack. Jackson first approached various luthiers in 1974 about the construction of his idea for a “contrabass guitar” tuned in fourths BEADGC, and Carl Thompson built the first six-string for Jackson in 1975. Six-string contrabass guitar ĭanelectro (1956), Fender (1961) and other manufacturers had produced six-string basses tuned one octave below a guitar (EADGBE), and Jackson had briefly played a Fender five-string bass tuned EADGC.

Jackson is a student of Jerry Fisher, Lawrence Lucie, and Pat Martino. His performance on " For the Love of Money" by The O'Jays helped move the song to No. Jackson worked as a session musician, in the Billy Paul band, and with Philadelphia International Records. When he turned to bass guitar, he was inspired by James Jamerson and Jack Casady. Jackson played piano before starting guitar in his teens. Jackson touring the Netherlands with Al Di Meola in 1978
