Hi Elvis,
Welcome to the forum.
Just want to share with you an experience I had 33 years before when I was 17.
I really thought that the Jazz Bass was the only necessary thing in order to play like Jaco.
My father was enough tired of me baging for this bass that finaly bought me the mighty Jazz.
It was my biggest chance in my life to learn three essential things:
- I was playing lousy even with the Jazz Bass, so I started seriosly to have bass and music lessons (Thanks God)
- My first bass was the top ( for that time) and if something was wrong in my playing it was nobody else than ME.
- My first bass was a Jazz Bass and I could live and play with it all my life and I still have it and it still sounds as goog as a Jazz Bass must sound. My taste for high end basses had some high refference. After owning about all high end basses, Smith was the next and maybe final step.
What I want to say? Stay away of cheap, trendy or coloured basses.
Save your cash and go get yourself the Smith of your dreams, I'd bet you will never regret.
Best regards
