This is by no means a perfect take, but rather my humble attempt at a cover of Jaco Pastorious' song "A Portrait of Tracy" It is presented without accompaniment of any kind, just like the original. Just a fretless bass and a LOT of difficult stretches full of natural/artificial harmonics. Enjoy!

Quarter Round strings. (45, 63, 85, 107) So far I'm loving them.

Great job! Any Jaco song is a challenge for sure.

Tone sounds good. What kind of fretless is it?
