    Built on the 40th anniversary of Jaco signing with Weather Report and the release of "Hejira" in 1976, I am very pleased to add this piece to my collection. By my judgement it demonstrates an extraordinary build quality paired with a marvelous tone both plugged and unplugged. I expect to cherish it for many years to come.

    Wow...the real thing...i had the chance to test the non epoxied (if such a word exists) one...the fretboard was finished without epoxy and it was fantastic....mind you not that i am in any way a fretless guru...at all ...but it sounded great...

    A little something for us Jaco fans.
    Edit:Jaco is playing his fretted Jazz.
    He doesn't bring out the fretless until the the end during "Badia"

    The boy thought it was awesome, but was a bit rankled when he saw the rust.

    I recently saw a jaco tribute bass in a pawn shop in Lethbridge and the neck was out of adjustment with a big bow and likely took that as a permanent set. Made me want to cry

    As a person that has owned the Tribute and the Relic, there really is no comparison. The Tribute is great, I had one as my main player for years, but the Relic is a truly amazing instrument.

    The pickups remind me of the SD Antiquity-2s. Like sweet potato pancakes in 100% real maple syrup.

    Too much. I think about $1200 or $1400 CAD.

    Does anybody know what Fender is using to make the 'clay' dots out of nowadays? It seems to be a bit of a mystery for pre-CBS basses, the legend of Leo using old floor tiles vs. a type of wood glue that aged over time, just wondering what Fender uses for their relic issues.

    I don’t think it is was the relic version. Which versions of that bass did they make?

    They made two — the production version that looked like the ‘62 reissue that came in fretted and fretless and the CS relic that was fretless. There was also a limited edition made in 1991 for the LA Bass Shop.

    He uses it (including jumping on it at the end!) for his feature solo starting at 51:47 :bassist:
