I bought a MIJ '62 reissue Fender Jaco Jazz and you know what, it sounds like Jaco. I've tried for years to get the sound, but the above works. Make sure you use mostly the bridge PU.

: I'm trying to got closer to a Jaco sound..
:
: I have a relatively new jazz bass and put on
: a warwick fretless neck. Did Jaco use round
: wounds? I'm finding with flats that there
: are so many bad strings out there.
:
: I'm EQing a hartke HA7000 knocking out the
: bottom strongly at about 125 and then coming
: up strongly to 2K, using mostly the bridge
: pickup with a little from the neck pickup,
: and adding just a little tone until it's
: just fully bright.
:
: I know he used a chorus but I'm just trying
: to get reasonably close in tone to his basic
: sound.
:
: Any help would be greatly appreciated.
:
: I have a 66 jazz bass that I could put the
: fretless neck on but I hesitate to put on
: and take off necks, and I should be able to
: get it in the ballpark with the new one.
:
: I know hartke's are tough to work with..
: They are cheap though.
:
: I'm also working with B-E-A-D, the bass is
: tweaked well, intonation is perfect, the
: neck is perfect - nice envelope sound on the
: whole neck.
:
: Thanks for any help.
