Fender Jaco Pastorius Jazz

The Fender Artist Series Jaco Pastorius Jazz is a 4-string fretless bass guitar manufactured by Fender, released in tribute to renowned bass player Jaco Pastorius who used a similar Jazz bass during his career with bands like Weather Report. The bass has a 3-tone tobacco sunburst finish, select alder body without the usual Jazz bass pickguard, Dual American vintage Jazz bass pickups, vintage-style bridge etc.

Sting owns a Jaco Pastorius Jazz bass from around 2000, strung with DR-Strings Nickel Lo-Riders. He used it to record The Bridge album (2021), featuring on songs such as "Captain Bateman's Basement", where the bass was recorded direct through an Avalon or Neve valve preamp, all in one take without punch-ins.
