Jaco's personal Jazz Bass was devoid of a pickguard, and the Jaco Pastorius Fretless Jazz Bass is, as well, though it ships with a 4-ply brown shell pickguard (unmounted, but included in the case).Ultra-swift and comfortable neck Much of the mythos surrounding Jaco's original Jazz Bass (dubbed the "Bass of Doom") is exactly what did he do to the neck during the fretted-to-fretless conversion? The widely held belief is that he ripped the frets out and patched the holes that remained with wood filler, and then coated the fingerboard with several coats of marine epoxy to withstand the use of roundwound strings. This Fender re-creation of the "Bass of Doom" sports tidier white inlaid fretline markers in place of the suspected wood filler and the side dot position markers are centered between the fretlines. The Jaco Pastorius Fretless Jazz Bass ships with Fender Stainless Steel Flatwound strings.A tribute to the master From the pickguardless body to the modified fretless neck, every detail of the "Bass of Doom" is painstakingly re-created here. Few bassists have left a mark as profound as Jaco Pastorius, with his ring of influence crossing all genres and barriers and inspiring legions of players to pick up the bass. The Fender Jaco Pastorius Fretless Jazz Bass is a fitting tribute to this masterful player, whose playing is heralded as some of the best the world has ever seen.Fender Jaco Pastorius Fretless Jazz Bass Features: Own a bass that pays tribute to the “Bass of Doom” Alder body in the comfortable Jazz Bass shape Your hands will glide over the fretless pau ferro fingerboard for ultimate speed Ultimately comfortable "C"-shaped neck 20 fretline markers to keep your place on the fingerboard Vintage Jazz Bass single-coils output mojo for R&B, rock, jazz, classical, Caribbean, and more Special Jaco tribute neck plate Comes with a 4-ply brown shell pickguard for mounting at your discretion SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 4 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Jazz Body Material Alder Body Finish Nitrocellulose Lacquer Color 3-color Sunburst Neck Material Maple Neck Shape C Radius 12" Fingerboard Material Pau Ferro Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets Fretless Scale Length 34" Nut Width 1.50" Nut Material Synthetic Bridge/Tailpiece American Vintage Jazz Bass Bridge Tuners Vintage Style Reverse Tuning Machines Middle Pickup Vintage Jazz Bass Single-coil Bridge Pickup Vintage Jazz Bass Single-coil Controls 2 x volume, 1 x tone Strings Stainless Steel Flatwound 9050M, (.055-.105) Case Included Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
