Jaco Pastorius, widely hailed as the world's top electric bass player, revolutionized the bass guitar. He combined R&B, rock, jazz, classical, and Caribbean music, reshaping the music scene with his amazing playing. He did it all with a Jazz Bass. His unique voice and signature sound came from his mind, heart, hands, and a sunburst fretless Jazz Bass. Now, this Jaco Pastorius Jazz Bass recreates that look, tone, and feel. It features a Jazz Bass® body made of select alder with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The fretboard is urethane - coated slab cut pau ferro with a 12' (305 mm) radius and a 34' (86.36 cm) scale length. It's fretless with no inlays. The pickups are American Vintage Single - Coil Jazz Bass®, and it has a 4 - Saddle American Vintage Bass bridge. The 4 - ply tortoiseshell pickguard adds style. It comes with Fender® USA 9050M stainless steel flatwound strings (.055-.105 gauges), American Vintage Reverse Open - Gear Bass tuning machines, and nickel/chrome hardware finish. It includes a deluxe brown hardshell case with a gold interior, a strap, and a cable.
Using this Jaco Pastorius Fretless Jazz Bass Guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up using the American Vintage Reverse Open - Gear Bass tuning machines. Once tuned, you can start strumming and playing your favorite tunes. When playing, hold the bass in a comfortable position and use your fingers on the fretless fretboard to create smooth and unique sounds. As for maintenance, keep it in the deluxe brown hardshell case when not in use to protect it from dust and damage. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. If the strings start to sound dull, replace them with Fender® USA 9050M stainless steel flatwound strings. Avoid exposing the bass to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the body and affect the sound quality. And always handle it gently to ensure it lasts a long time.
