Just completed my Jaco Tribute bass today. It's wonderful, an absolute joy to behold!
- U.S.A. Fender Highway One 3TSB loaded body with the nitro finish buffed to a shine
- Allparts lined fretless ebony neck with coated fingerboard
- Original 60's Fender threaded saddle bridge
- Hipshot Ultralite Clover tuners
Weighs only 8.5 lb. and is everything I've ever wanted in a fretless!
Now I just need to beat it around a little to get it looking like the pre-resto Bass of Doom...

Man did it come out great! Now I need to track down a Custom Shop relic to compare with  |

I don't know of any manufacturer that offers an epoxy finish neck from the factory. It's a very labor-intensive hand work process. |

|  | Supporting Member | | | | | Did you order the neck coated, or have that done after? And is it epoxy?
EDIT. Never mind. I was slow. |
