‘Come On, Come Over’ is the second track from Jaco Pastorius’ landmark debut album. Released in August 1976, this was an album that changed everything for bass players, proving beyond doubt that the bass guitar was a powerful vehicle for soloists as well as for groove players. This track is an R&B number featuring legendary vocalists Sam and Dave. It’s also home to one of Jaco’s best-known fingerstyle funk grooves, a line that can be devilishly challenging to play accurately.
I performed the line using my Mayones Viking bass strung with Rotosound strings. I favoured the bridge pickup and boosted the midrange slightly.
