Jauqo III-X : Life and Music

Chicago bassist, Jauqo III-X, is widely known for his two major accomplishments in the world of the bass guitar.

1 - He is the creator/designer of the first 15-string bass.

2 - He originated the low C# string for bass guitar.

His album, "The Low C# Theory," showcases the thunderous sound of this unique and very, very low frequency tuning structure. What results is an experimental Jazz album of bass etudes that will fill your ears with all the unpredictability of freestyle Fusion mixed with the beastly groove of the low C# tuning! My favourite track is # 4. It's a monster groove deserving of the lowest frequency it can get! Each track is named according to the length of the song, so track # 4 is called "6:31." Sounds about right to me ... go to interview
