  1. No longer with Fender gigbag, now with slightly scruffy Armourdillo hardcase. Sorry, no key. I think it's in the black hole at the end of the universe that is full of case keys & my pens.
  2. Cheers Jono. Thanks folks for the trade offers but trade value (if my fancy was tickled) would be higher than the good (imo) cash price. Apparently the pickups are "60's spacing". Ta all.
  3. As I understand it they were first released in 2006 so this is one of the earlier ones (given the sometimes vague Fender Japan serial number system). It's 34", normal long scale.
  4. Cheapest I can find on t'interweb is £1099. Good luck finding another at what I'm asking. Hot Rod Red, matching headstock, blocks etc. Lovely slab rosewood board. Excellent top end access. 9lb 4oz. BAD BITS. Original bridge replaced with Gotoh 201B-4 Original tuners replaced with vintage style Wilkinson 189 (NL I think) I don't have the original parts. Shielding is notoriously poor on these, this one is no different. I've never bothered to do it, can't hear it too much through an Orange 500BT! There are 3 or 4 dimples on the bottom, hard to photograph (especially when you're crap like me). It's in very good condition but not perfect. Collection from Darlington preferred, happy to discuss meet up. COURIER Buyer to organise & pay, UK ONLY, sorry. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.
  5. Becki's a delight to deal with, buy with full confidence folks 🙂
  6. Need some specs Andy, neck, weight, pups, case/gig bag etc
  7. Sorry, yes, I've been trying to edit the title on & off for several hours but Open Reach have other ideas.
  8. REASON FOR SALE Only using Jazz necks now. Bought 4 months ago. Best pickup I've ever had in a Fender Japan bass (yes, imo far better than the US ones Fender Japan use on the more expensive models). GOOD BITS. Many. 12" radius, body binding, torque tuners, 8lb 4oz, Babicz bridge, no scratchplate for gorgeous looks (imo). BAD BITS. Tiny bit of neck dive although if you watch the video (our first gig) you will see it certainly doesn't bother me. Soundchecked with it last night to ensure everything is ok. COURIER. Buyer to organise & pay, UK ONLY, sorry. Links. Video of it in use (I don't have earphones, little idea of how it will sound) Specs & current price (I paid £1200 in May). https://www.facebook.com/MOTA.rockband/videos/1349759815590067/ https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/220906392178008--fender-aerodyne-special-precision-bass-hot-rod-burst-maple-fing?gclid=Cj0KCQjwvL-oBhCxARIsAHkOiu0vM15iohzZwTEWFxvaJm7PvD6kMRqZ55cxPZi_iTRuprOv0N1bbiMaAhZiEALw_wcB
  9. Hiya folks, I hope somebody can advise me please? Pete Wentz signature, love everything but the tuners aren't the most stable. I know the ferrules will be a pig to get out so hoping somebody can advise on a drop in replacement? Measurements are not 100%, but as close as an old geezers eyes and a 6" steel rule can get them 😊 Here's hoping, cheers.
  10. Bought couple of years back, never used (I think the bass was sold before it turned up). Vintage Fender style, nickel with threaded saddles for tiny string spacing adjustments. It's probably Hosco, I like their vintage replacement parts. The Fender one is over £60. £20 collected Darlington, £23 posted UK. Feedback available. APOLOGIES for photos, Windows have forced an app change & it doesn't have a "Clarity" button. Boo!
  11. I don't get why this fabulous, adorable bass is still here. If it was in the same time zone as me I'd be in my little tank down the M1. Good luck, wonderful truly used bass.
  12. I've dealt with Alain so many times he's given me a Customer Loyalty card (I might have made the last bit up 😚). He is an absolute legend, always easy to deal with and a pleasure as well. One of BC's greatest ambassadors, thanks again & until the next time 😁 Cheers Alain.
  13. Great price & great bloke. If it had been a maple board.................. The S1 switch is very useful on a Jazz (but crap on a Precision). When engaged it really thickens out the neck (middle) pickup making it sound a little more P. Versatile under rated Fender series imo. Good luck Skippy.
  14. Indeed, very few of them around. Despite it being a 2021 only run, I think this is the only white one I've seen come up for sale. Current production Mex Road Worns now start at £1300 new. Yet still you get the "that much for a Mex bass??".
  15. REASON FOR SALE, something has come up, I have Jazzes in Deluxe, Elite & Ultra, this one is the "sacrificial lamb". Limited Run in 2021, factory road worn finish in Nitro, matching headstock, stack knobs and (unusually for a 60's type bass) 9.5 inch radius. Pau Ferro fretboard (if it's good enough for Roger Sadowsky, Michael Tobias etc...) Weight 9lb 1oz. It's faded Olympic White, not as bright as it is in the pictures. I'm no photographer. Vintage style Fender hard case included (I would sell it for £800 with no case or gigbag). LOADS of info & demos on t'interweb. You really won't get many chances at one of these. Only for sale as long as the object of my desire is. COURIER, yes BUT buyer to organise & pay. Collection from Darlington preferred. I have feedback. Thanks for looking, Karl.
  16. Fabulous, one of the few Rick models with Maple board. Might just have to put something up for sale 🙄😆
  17. You have a John Torres neck, you are a lucky man! The sticker that is in the neck pocket (serial number) should be on the back of the scratchplate. The 'plate may not be original, but I would have expected black anyway. Cracking bass, enjoy.
  18. Perhaps you might like to clarify facts before you accuse. I put my Futurama in a skip a couple of decades ago.
  19. WHY I BOUGHT IT. I bought the Precision first, because I loved the simplistic look of two knobs & no scratchplate. I like matching headstock & 12" radius. I also liked the arm chamfer, bridge & binding. The big surprise was the pickups. I have never played a previous model Aerodyne with pickups I would consider good. The P has fabulous pickups. Powerful good range and a delicious thump. I hoped the Jazz would be as good as it has the same features. It is indeed a belter. WHY I'M SELLING IT. After a recent purchase, I now have Jazzes in American Deluxe, Elite & Ultra. And this one. SALE PRICE/TRADE PRICE £850 cash, £950 trade, No offers thanks, I'm taking a big hit on this, in a short time. A week after I bought it I was taken in for surgery, so had little chance to use it. It's as new. These were released late 2022, this was bought new April 2023 COURIER I will box it up safely & await a courier, buyer to organise & pay for (including insurance). LINK TO SPECS BELOW (weight of this one is bang on 9lbs on my luggage scales). Their photos are better than any I'd take. https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Fender-Made-in-Japan-Aerodyne-Special-Jazz-Bass-MN-California-Blue/art-BAS0012272-000?campaign=GShopping/GB&ProgramUUID=HADAqJarPzAAAAFlea9yjI.G&campaign=GShopping/UK&ProgramUUID=HADAqJarPzAAAAFlea9yjI.G&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnMWkBhDLARIsAHBOftp1C_2kwzSTPEnkpkZF7pTQB0BUeUiTBzZfVaVdoZ6kvXl7gIDZ26QaAvxXEALw_wcB
  20. AHH, thanks your Lordship. FSR, Factory Special Run.
