*Sold*: Fender Jaco Pastorius Jazz Bass, 4str, FL, MIA, HSC, +Acc, Pristine

[TorVic]

*This bass is now sold outside of BassChat*

I bought it from the US around 2005 but it is as good as new. I paid extra duty to bring it into Ireland, where I was living then. It has never been gigged and has always remained in a hard shell case. I have only noodled with it occasionally and there is no wear on the fretboard that I can notice. The only problem I noticed recently is that the strap locks had rusted. I have replaced them with a pair of brand new Schaller strap-locks (black) that are included in the sale. Also, the original tweed hard shell case is no longer with me as I wasn't a fan of it and instead obtained a SKB Fender case that fits the bass perfectly and is included in the sale.

A whole bunch of original accessories are included - they are completely unused. The manufacturer's details are available at: [url="http://www.fender.com/en-NL/products/search.php?partno=0196208800"]http://www.fender.co...rtno=0196208800[/url]

Super bass TorVic, just bought one off fellow BC er recently; good luck with the sale.

Paul.

Thanks Paul. It is indeed a fantastic fretless bass. I did have second thoughts before putting it up for sale but I am simply not using it enough to justify holding on it.

Hi TorVic, the Jaco looks wonderful, I'm after a good fretless & have been looking at both the Jaco or the Victor Bailey, the latter seems a bit more like hen's teeth.

I would appreciate your answer to a simple question I know the Tort Jazz plate comes with & I see there is also a thumbrest in the case candy, my question is "is the plate drilled for the thumbrest & if so, which side?" I understand the body is not drilled for any fixings.

I'm at this moment contemplating drilling my AV '62 Jazz to fit a thumbrest above the E, (all my P's have a T/R there already) & I just wanted to check if the Jaco plate has the holes.

Thanks, John

Hi KOgon, I just checked the plate and it does have holes drilled for the thumb rest. It is below the G. I have added 2 photos of it to the Picasa album at: https://picasaweb.google.com/100212465725187526301/FenderJaco?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCJi206GZjNDUBg&feat=directlink

Cheers, Vic.

[KiOgon]

Thanks for that, the holes show up clearly on the underside picture, obviously the same as the plate I have on my '62.

Cheerz, John

I have uploaded another album with photos of all the paperwork https://picasaweb.google.com/100212465725187526301/FenderJacoPamphlets?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCL6Mm9Dq-Mbd3wE&feat=directlink

BUMP

[fretmeister]

Stupid question, what strings come as standard on these?

[TorVic]

They are the stock Fender strings - I don't know the exact guage. They are roundwound strings.
