tgm0 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Does anyone have any info on a Phat Jaco II Bass? Quote
AndyTravis Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Nope. Never seen one before. looks generic, Chinese/Indonesian made and probably quite low cost. Quote
sprocketflup Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 That bridge doesnt look like its in the right place to me...…. Quote
tgm0 Posted November 9, 2019 Author Posted November 9, 2019 I found this online about it. http://www.itsyourguitar.com/iygs-phat-jaco-ii-echoes-jacos-bass-of-doom/ Quote
nick Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Sorry, it looks like Stevie Wonder's routed the pickup cavity with a bolster chisel on this 'Phat Jaco' humbucker version https://reverb.com/item/22325043-custom-fretless-jazz-bass-phat-jaco-two-hum-buckers Quote
sprocketflup Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Hmm. Are we seeing the work of a certain BC member? 1 Quote

AndyTravis Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 I actually had a look around the site to see if it was him: 1 Quote
visog Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 After looking at the sources cited... I can't tell if it's dodgy or a genuine tribute. The fact that it's fretted and has shiny pick-up covers doesn't help. So I'll sound in with the rather obvious advice that if you're considering buying one, try to hear and play it first. Quote

paul_5 Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Is this affiliated with ‘MDP’ by any chance? Quote
