I dunno man. I'm not a fan of Metallica but why is it bad he's playing the bass?
Yeah he's a "less skilled" player I guess but other than that, how is it "inglorious" that he play it? I still don't understand this logic.
It is a legendary bass and Metallica are still pretty big in terms of popularity. Just think, you could get a big buzz for the younger generation to check out the history of it and then they may get into Jaco's music too?

I agree. Anything that keeps the music of the 'greatest bass player in the world' alive is fine by me.
Personally, Im amazed Fender didnt buy it considering what Jaco must have done for the sale of their basses.
