SPECIAL LINED FRETLESS PAU FERRO FINGERBOARD
The fretless fingerboard of the Jaco Pastorius Jazz Bass is fashioned from pau ferro, a South American tonewood with feel and sonic qualities similar to rosewood, and coated with urethane for durable performance. It is a "slab" fingerboard (meaning a flat joint with the maple neck rather than a curved joint) with a 12" radius and 20 inlaid white fret line markers.

AMERICAN VINTAGE JAZZ BASS PICKUPS
The full, pure and powerful fretless sound of the Jaco Pastorius Jazz Bass comes from a pair of American Vintage single-coil Jazz Bass pickups.

SIGNATURE-STAMPED NECK PLATE
In tribute to the great bassist, the neck plate of the Jaco Pastorius Jazz Bass is stamped with his first name.
