What should I change/add? I'll make a v2 based on comments.
Obviously this is a lighthearted, semi-joke post lol.
Made with the combo setting in mind. Big band maybe requires a different list.

Where's the damn bass guitar? Because I'm a Bill Laswell fan, and I'm gonna clobber someone if they say bass guitar doesn't belong in jazz. You just need to listen to something good.
OTOH it's surprising to see the trombone anywhere near the top, as I know of just one album with the trombone as the leading instrument, and briefly heard maybe a handful more.
All in all, this seems to be just your opinion, man. Perhaps do a poll (though they aren't properly supported by many Lemmy frontends — but you can just do one based on upvotes in comments).
Nah fam this ranking is an objective, self-evident, universal fact jk
No, but you're right. It's just my opinion! It's a post just to start discussion and troll each other a bit.
it's in B! Next time i'll use a standard 4 string bass
Yeah my plan is to take the comments into account and do a V2 in a couple weeks. But maybe doing a dedicated post would have been a better idea!
Sorry man, I didn't recognize it. But, there's no need for the four-string, as unfretted five-string is quite prevalent, and Laswell sports a six-string in that video. But you could probably do better by picturing a black Yamaha or Fender Jazz Bass, it would be more evocative.
(Edit: double oof as I realized that it's Fender Jazz in the pic, but I stand by the notion that it should be black.)
