Description
Get ready to feast on fried chicken with this iconic relic. Its sunburst finish features heavy wear and tear, simulating decades of playtime in clubs and venues from a man with chicken grease covered hands. Its bold look give it a vintage appearance reminiscent of Jaco's famous Jazz Bass. But there's more than meets the eye with this axe; it's a phenomenal instrument with a deep, rumblin' voice and a wicked-comfortable feel.
This Custom Shop Jazz Bass features an Alder body, giving it a sweet, resonant tone with a bright treble response. Joining the body is a plain grain maple neck with that classic "C" shaped neck profile, which feels smooth as silk thanks to the relicing from the Fender Custom Shop. Players will also appreciate how smooth the slab rosewood fretboard feels, and how the genuine bone nut really lends itself to the overall tonal range.
For a vintage-correct tone, this bass is armed with a pair of Custom Shop '60s single-coil Jazz Bass. These single-coils deliver a smooth sound with deep lows, balanced mids, and burpy highs. Whether you want that burpy Jaco tone or a full-throttle rock 'n' roll growl, these pups can cover nearly any classic Jazz Bass sound imaginable.
The Custom Shop Jaco Pastorius Tribute Fretless Jazz Bass is a true masterwork, promising a one-of-a-kind playing experience that pays tribute to one of the true masters of the instrument. If you've been searching for a world-class bass that's born for the stage, you can't beat this Custom Shop replica.
