Section "Instruments"

So apparently she only plays fretless electic basses, yet both pictures showing her with one show a fretted bass. What is this fuckery?-217.248.22.214 (talk) 00:10, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Fender Jaco Pastorius Jazz Bass is fretless but has fret lines (as opposed to plainboard fretless). Lines aren't frets. ---Sluzzelin talk 00:29, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clearing that up!-217.248.22.214 (talk) 13:44, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
