Description
No frets, no hiding – just fingers, wood, and that legendary Jazz Bass growl. This Fender Jaco Pastorius Jazz Bass is built for players chasing the vocal, slippery, sing-song voice that Jaco carved out of a beat-up sunburst bass decades ago and never let go of. It’s not a gimmick tribute piece; it’s a genuine working instrument with the specs to back it up.
The alder body and C-shaped maple neck give you a familiar, comfortable feel, while the pau ferro fingerboard offers a smooth glide for sliding into notes and finding pitch by ear – a skill this bass practically demands you develop. Fret-line side dots keep you oriented without actual frets to lean on. Twin vintage-style single-coil Jazz Bass pickups deliver that classic growl-to-thump range, wired through ’62-style 3-knob controls (separate neck and bridge volume, master tone) so you can dial in exactly how much bridge snarl or neck warmth you want in the mix.
Small details matter here too: knurled chrome Precision Bass-style knobs, vintage reverse tuners, a U.S. vintage Jazz bridge, and a commemorative Pastorius neck plate that quietly nods to where this design came from. The brown shell pickguard ships separately in the case if you want to install it yourself.
