Fender Jaco Pastorius Fretless Jazz Bass Guitar, 3-Color Sunburst w/Hard CaseThe Fender Jaco Pastorius Fretless Jazz Bass honors the legacy of a musical innovator, Jaco Pastorius, widely considered to be one of the greatest electric bass players of all time. Pastorius revolutionized the instrument, pushing its boundaries across genres from R&B and rock to jazz and classical, and his signature sound stemmed from his own unique approach and a sunburst fretless Jazz Bass a sound Fender has recreated in this incredible instrument.

The Fender Jaco Pastorius Fretless Jazz Bass honors the legacy of a musical innovator, Jaco Pastorius, widely considered to be one of the greatest electric bass players of all time. Pastorius revolutionized the instrument, pushing its boundaries across genres from R&B and rock to jazz and classical, and his signature sound stemmed from his own unique approach and a sunburst fretless Jazz Bass – a sound Fender has recreated in this incredible instrument.

The body of this bass is cut from select alder, finished in a classic gloss 3-color Sunburst. This understated finish is simple: the natural beauty of alder peeks through, and the 3-Color Sunburst finish is timeless. This body contour is instantly recognizable as the Jazz Bass design, as comfortable to hold as it is iconic.

For its neck, Fender has chosen a comfy “C” shaped maple neck, with a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish for a smooth, fast feel. The defining characteristic of this bass, however, is its fretless fingerboard, carved from pau ferro. The Jaco Pastorius Jazz Bass features a slab Pau Ferro fingerboard—an upgrade from the more common round laminate boards in this price range. This design choice combined with the 12-inch fingerboard radius provides a familiar playing experience for players familiar with playing a fretted bass, transitioning to a fretless one. To aid note placement, Fender has included 20 inlaid white fretline markers along the fingerboard.

A pair of American Vintage single-coil Jazz Bass pickups live in the body of this J-Bass. These pickups capture the full, pure, and powerful fretless sound that Pastorius popularized, controlled with volume controls for each pickup and a master tone knob, sans any switches. 

Nickel/chrome hardware adds a smidge of modern life to this otherwise vintage-inspired instrument, while knurled flat-top control knobs deliver a delightful tactile experience.

This instrument comes complete with a deluxe Fender brown hard case included.

Fascinating and beautifully written.
Format: Hardcover
Clear and compelling reading of the much-neglected history of Carthage -- all its histories had been written by the victors in Rome. BTEW y four-colour photo insert was missing a page....shame on Norton, the puboisher.

Excellent Overview of Carthage
Format: Hardcover
293 pages of text/maps/b&w figures; 8 pages of color plates; 15 pages of end notes (mostly citations); 20 page Bibliography; 6 page Primary Bibliography; 2 page Acknowledgements; 8 area maps; 1 battle map [Cannae]. This is a well written history of Carthage. It provides a one source overview of the background and history of the city/empire. As a reasonably well read layperson, I am familiar at an overview level with the Punic Wars, Rome, Alexander, and the Alexandrine successor states and this book packaged Carthaginian information very well while adding interesting information that I hadn't come across before. I was somewhat disappointed (hence the 4 star rather than 5 star rating) that there was a very limited drill down to a lower level of detail, particularly from such a noted author. However, this is probably an unfair criticism given the limited amount of archeological information available and the millennia of effort that has been spent in pigeonholing Carthage according to the desired perceptions. I recommend the book highly as a well written overview of Carthage.
