Play the bass that carried Jaco's musical genius to the world.
The Fender Pastorius fretless electric bass preserves the memory of legendary Jaco Pastorius, a beacon for generations of aspiring bass players who bridged the gaps between R&B, rock, jazz, classical, and Caribbean musics. He changed the musical world of bass guitar with his uncanny gifts and visionary approach to the instrument. And he did it with one fundamental tool — a Fender Jazz Bass. Fender has re created Jaco's well played Jazz Fretless in painstaking detail, so you can enjoy a special connection with this great artist.
