Would you buy this bass?

Pass

Those Edwards are great Japan made quality instruments, that's all I got...

 

[lermgalieu]

The best part is that you will play like Jaco instantly if you buy it!

 

[BarfanyShart]

That ESP is pretty cool, I see the appeal. It's probably overall a better instrument than the Player, but for my money, I'd be happier with the white Fender for half the price.

 

[Trailertrash74]

Not only NO but #!*% NO!

 

[C Stone]

Hard pass! Fingerboard looks terrible (IMO) would also note that Jaco's bass was a Fender and his board was covered in epoxy.

I have owned an Esp Edwards 60s jazz bass. It was a great bass and the quality was on par with Japanese Fender stuff. That said, I only paid $450. It's your call of course but the price does seem a bit high.

You asked....I'm gonna answer...no

 

[Watchootognbout]

An F.S.O.
No.

Hi all, I've been looking at fretless jazz basses to get the Jaco sound and I came across this, what do you all think? It looks good however the blank headstock might mean that the resale value would be pretty bad if I ever did sell it. Or should I get a Fender Player series? Not much alternative in my price range unless you guys could suggest some ($1500).
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Not at that price.

 

[mongo2]

No, I wouldn't buy it. I think it's too expensive.

 

[pickaxe]

Bought one of these for my son, yes the PUPs are that articulate, good build and cheap.

Not really interested in replicas made by companies that didn’t make the bass they are replicating and I mostly a 5 string guy. The only 4 string I own is an inexpensive fender acoustic. And 5 string acoustic basses are kind of meh

I don't go for relics, so no. But if you like it, why not?

 

[boombloom]

We don't know much about you or your hopes, your experience, your playing. That being said, I was very happy with a Squier Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz. I got a beat up one (relic!) for $125. I see Pickaxe has already mentioned them.

 

[lfmn16]

Not for $1500. You can almost buy the Fender Jaco for that. Much easier to sell if you want to down the line.

 

[kmon]

The list of basses I'd rather spend 1500 on is long. Very, very long.

 

[Dominic D]

If you like it, I don’t see why not.
