Fender Aerodyne Jazz Electric Bass

Found in: 4-String Electric Bass Guitars

Price: $650

And now for something completely different! Cutting-edge bass players looking for a high performance and lightweight bass with a strikingly different appearance will flip over the Aerodyne Jazz Bass! This is a special edition Jazz Bass featuring a bound basswood body with a NEW unique carved top, a maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and matching painted headstock. It's loaded with a Precision/Jazz Bass pickup combination and rear routed/top mounted controls with no pickguard.

Feature:
Only 2 negatives, (1) doesn't come with a case and (2) the bridge is only so-so. Even so, I still love it.

Quality:
Fit and finish are excellent, Fender Japan has really upped the ante on quality - it's a beautiful guitar

Value:
better than basses 2x and 3x the price, best value I've found on a new bass - that's why I bought it.

Desirability:
This is one sexy bass - kudos to Fender and the design team that came up with it

Sound:
Very versatile with the P/J pups, can dial in just about any sound - I gave it a 9 because it's not quite a 10 on the p-bass sound and not quite a 10 on the j-bass sound but it's awefully damn close - the blended thunder+punch is very nice.

Ease of Use:
It's a J-bass, I like the narrow neck (1.5" at the nut) - easier to play than my original '62 precision

Support:
no opinion, haven't had to use it

Overall:
My '62 p-bass will sit on the stand most of the time now
