QQ For LaFaro Buffs

Recommended Posts

I believe Scott LaFaro's bass was set up with lower action after his first bass was stolen in California in 1958 and he then went to the Kolstein Bass Shop in New York to obtan a new one shortly thereafter.

Here's a great short discussion on the history and restoration of LaFaro's bass that was nearly destroyed in the car acident that took LaFaro's life:

The bass now belongs to the International Society of Bassists to loan out. Several notable bassists such as Mark johnson, Phil Polumbi and others have used it on recent recordings and concerts.
