FENDER 0196208 Details
Jaco Pastorius was a beacon for generations of aspiring bass players, bridging the gaps between R&B, rock, jazz, classical and Caribbean music. He changed the musical world with his uncanny gift and visionary approach to the instrument, and he did it with one fundamental tool—a Fender Jazz Bass guitar.
The Jaco Pastorius Tribute Fretless Jazz Bass guitar features a select alder body, C-shaped maple neck with polyester-coated slab-cut pau ferro fingerboard, two vintage-style Jazz Bass single-coil pickups, knurled chrome Precision Bass control knobs, and a special Jaco tribute neck plate. In homage to a true and truly missed master of the instrument.

This bass is worth the money. I own one and am ready to buy a second...I can't see spending 3 grand on the relic version just to get an epoxy coated fretboard and a beat up finish...besides NO ONE is JACO!! The most impressive parts of this instrument are the feel, playability, and naked sound (unamplified)...It has THAT fretless tone of Jaco's or a more expensive ZON fretless...My only criticism is the noisy pickups that come with it--you'll want to replace with Fender Noiseless--same sound but no annoying 60Hz hum when playing with the lead i.e. bridge pickup for the awesome tone...This bass should convert even the staunchiest fretted player who understands jazz at all and wants to find ''their voice . Amen. Jaco RIP. P.S. Check out Brian Bromberg Jaco CD--his technique and speed have even surpassed Jacos!!! (Not his composition or creativity)...
