Posted by Mike 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. Mike
