SOLD. Up for sale is my 2004 / 05 Non Export Made In Japan Aerodyne Jazz bass. Trades just added. May take a cheap Mex Jazz or Precision in exchange with cash my way. Reduced to £550 including insured UK postage but only with a gig bag. Grab a bargain. The non export version is rather rare and differs from the normal export Aerodynes in that it has a pick guard and has chrome hardware instead of smoked. Some say that it is exclusive to Japan because it is so good that Fender USA didn't want them exporting. This one is no exception and plays brilliantly and sounds fantastic with the combination of P and J pickups giving it plenty of bottom end thump with added snap from the jazz pickup. It's in great condition and benefits from a full professional set up including fret level, crown and polish, fretboard treatment with lemon oil and relief, action and intonation set up plus new strings. It’s a 34” scale, has a jazz width neck of 1.5” at the nut and weighs a very lightweight 7.5 lbs. It has a few age related dings mainly on the bottom edge. Those have been filled with black paint so are not visible until close up. The bass comes with a decent Fender padded gig bag. I'm based in Chester so it can be tried, collected, I can meet up or deliver within reasonable distance and of course will post anywhere.

I’ve just checked again and found that the year is between 1997 and 2000. I was quoting it as a 93 bass but O serial numbers which are Made in Japan are 93 as opposed to Crafted in Japan which are made between 97 and 2000. Sorry for misinformation.......

I’ve just checked again and it’s a 93, not a 99 bass. My mistake deciphering the CIJ serial numbers.

Have a free bump from me for a great looking bass.

There’s a long story and a short version, the short being that sadly it has to go,

Thanks for the positive comments. When you get such positivity it makes you wonder whether to sell or not......

Having just checked again I now find out that this is an O series bass, Crafted in Japan so made between 1997 and 2000. I first thought it was a 1999, then revised the listing to say 93 and it looks like I was probably right in the first place. Sorry about that......... Up for sale is my Crafted in Japan Fender Precision PB62 reissue in naturally aged Olympic white (possibly cream now....) with red tortoiseshell pick guard, after market high mass bridge with rosewood finger board on similarly aged maple neck. It's just been fully set up with relief set, frets levelled, crowned and polished, fretboard treated with lemon oil, action set nice and low, intonation set and has new strings. Condition wise it's got a lot of surface lacquer cracks on the front and back, on the back has some wear through the finish next to the neck plate and the back of the neck has a couple of small dings which don't affect playability but it plays well and sounds huge. The neck is a very playable 1.65" / 42mm wide at the nut, depth of 21mm at the nut and the bass weighs in at around 9 lbs. It comes with a decent gig bag and I'll ship it pretty much anywhere double boxed. I'm in Chester but could deliver or meet up within 100 mile radius or so.

£675 posted for a brilliant example of the Geddy Lee CIJ Jazz.

Price drop. £695 incl UK postage.

I was open to trades but then something happened (GAS induced trigger finger) so I’d rather sell it straight. If there’s anything 4 string and Fendery with cash my way then I may be interested.

That’s too cheap for a Japanese 62 re-issue. Should have been snapped up by now as these are brilliant basses. Have a bump from me.

A little price tweak. £725 posted for the best Geddy Lee Jazz I’ve ever played including USA models. This is seriously good and sounds amazing. I’ve had it in a shoot out with my 2 Aerodyne Jazz basses and a vintage Jap Jazz loaded with GL 72 reissue pickups and it beats them by a country mile.

I’ll have a look!!!

Up for sale is my rare 2001 Non export Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass in very good condition and with Fender padded gig bag. £600 including UK postage. I say rare but I’ve now got 2 for sale, one in black and this one in old candy apple red. This non export version of the Aerodyne Jazz differs slightly from the export version in that it has a 3 ply pickguard, chrome hardware and a front mounted control plate. As pe4 other aerodynes it features a radiused, carved basswood Jazz Bass body with cream binding, matching painted headstock, very slim C shape Jazz Bass neck (1.5” at the nut), with a 20-fret stained rosewood fingerboard with aged pearloid dot inlays and P/J pickups. Some say that the reason that these are non export is that they are better quality than many US Fender basses. Mine has just had a full set up including minor fret level, crown and polish, lemon oil fretboard treatment and new rotsound strings. It plays really nicely with low action, no fre5 rattles or buzzes and sounds great. It’s very light - around 7.5 lbs. Condition wise it’s in great shape with the exception of 2 body dings at the bottom near the strap pin. They’ve chipped the paint and can be seen but are quite minor. I’m going to try to source a matched paint so the chips can be filled. Also some of the chrome shows very minor tarnishing but it has all been polished so looks great. Comes with a high quality Fender padded gig bag. Can be tried out, examined / collected from near Chester. Will post out via UPS, double boxed for added protection.
