The widely held belief is that he ripped the frets out and patched the holes that remained with wood filler; sanded, and then slathered the fingerboard with several coats of marine epoxy to withstand the use of roundwound strings. The takeaway is that the wood filler remained visible. Now, Jaco's intonation was flawless regardless of fret lines, but most of us could use some visual aids when we pick up a fretless. That's why the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Fretless Jazz Bass sports tidy white inlaid fret line markers and side dot position markers centered between the lines.Timeless single-coil bass sound Although the versatile Classic Vibe '60s Fretless Jazz Bass sounds great in just about any context, it really shines on musical styles that rely on that classic scooped, growling bass sound. That being said, you can achieve a myriad of tones by blending the volume of both Fender Designed Alnico single-coil pickups to taste. Whether you play rock or country, funk or blues, or (naturally) jazz, the Classic Vibe '60s Fretless Jazz Bass will deliver the tone you need.Shaped for comfort and performance One of the things that made the J Bass an instant hit with working bass players was its unique offset-waist body shape. Perfect whether playing standing or seated, the classic Jazz Bass contoured body will make those marathon gigs and sessions much more comfortable. With its slim C-profile neck that's only 1.5" wide at the nut, this instrument was originally designed to appeal to jazz bassists. The slender neck not only facilitates the fluid execution of fast, complex bass lines; it's perfect for any musical style — which is why you hear the Jazz Bass in every genre of music.Join the ranks of Jazz Bass players Pick up the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Fretless Jazz Bass and you've got affordable entrée into the company of some of the greatest bass players of all time.
