Nasal drip sauce tone. No thanks.
not jazz, but Incubus' Dirk Lance played a Fender Jazz on "Are You In?" studio recording - live too - it's a CAR 65 I believe w/ matching headstock - gorgeous bass.
Leo Lyons of Ten years After. He didn't play the Jazz when I heard them in the late 80's, but it was there as a backup.
Yes, his "Working Girl" bass was a Jazz bass body with a Precision neck. Hmm, smart man, the Jackson guy!

There's no hope left for you, Joe.
Maybe a jazz bass tone, but definitely not the jazz bass tone. If Jaco's tone was the only thing you could get out of a jazz bass, I would have never picked one up. But there are definitely many different tones you can get out of a jazz bass.
And no offense to Jaco, I love his playing and his work, but I prefer a much different tone that his.
There's hope for me left, but it all costs to much.

I have unsuccessfully been trying to sum up my feelings on Jaco for years now, and you just did a great job. Thanks. Too those who disagree, sorry, but some of that stuff sounds a little to much like ducks being abused. Is it ok to respect, admire him without liking some of sound and songs?
One of the true innovators of the bass guitar, Monk Montgomery used a Jazz bass on all recordings.
My Generation (The Who,mid 60's) was not a Fender:scowl:
That world famous, riff/solo/sound was played with a $50 bass known as Danelectro at the time.
Every Who and Entwhistle fan know this as there's an interesting tale on this subject.

I've read (here on TB) that the strings kept breaking on the Dano, so the Ox switched to a Jazz for the recording. Is that not accurate?
As I remember the strings did in fact continuously break and as no string replacement were available Kit lambert or another member of the crew was kept on the run hunting down these Dano's untill the take was in the can.
Remember at this time,London had never experienced wire wound strings on a bass of any kind until the arrival of the Dany.Listen to that sound,no way flats on any bass,Entwhistle or not. Definitely a Danelectro.This was the birth of the RS66.

Here is Aston "Familyman" Barrett with his Jazz. Most recordings back to Catch a Fire were recorded with the Jazz I believe. He got an incredible fat, low, articulate tone out of his Jazz. I'd say it's the total opposite of Jaco's tone, only the same instrument, except Aston's was fretted.
