Jaco Pastorius played a Framus S-380 bass when he visited bassist and producer Jan Jankeye in Stuttgart in the spring of 1986. He used this bass to record the CD titled "Broadway Blues." During his visit to Germany, Pastorius stayed at Jankeye's place for six months, and it appears that he did not bring his own instrument with him. As a result, he had to make do with what was available. The recording engineer had a modified fretless Framus bass in the studio, which Jaco Pastorius used for the recording sessions. Jan Jankeye, who was the producer of those sessions, recalls that Jaco wrote the tune "Teresa" on an Ibanez Jazz Bass copy but used the Framus bass for all the recordings.
