alhbass Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) SOLD I'm reluctantly having to consider parting with this lovely instrument, as I've recently made a couple of new purchases and can't really justify keeping them all... Its a Japanese 2006 Aerodyne Classic Precision Bass Special, with added ashtray! Bit of a Marmite guitar as far as looks go maybe - you either love it or you hate it - but I love it, and surely I can't be the only one..? Wish I could afford to keep it, but it's not my principal gigging instrument, so I can't really. It sounds great, has a Jazz style neck and is lightweight at 3.9kg (8.6lbs). One of the volume pots is a little crackly, but five minutes with some switch cleaner would see that right (I may even get round to doing it myself...) I'm offering it for sale with a decent hardcase (as pictured). No, I'm not convinced it's a genuine Fender hardcase either, despite the badge on the lid - but it's a perfectly good, useable case nonetheless. Let me know if you're interested, or have any queries. PS Like the last instrument I sold on BC, this one has a BassChat pedigree, having previously been owned by Old Horse Murphy and Bassatnight Thanks for looking...

I already have one in natural, and I love it. There was a guy on here looking for one of these recently - "Aerodyne Precision" is his username - not sure whether he is still looking - it may be worth shooting off a PM to him.

aerodyne precision Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Aaaargh! About a week before your Aerodyne was posted I took delivery of a 70's RI MIJ P bass from 93/94 - was also on BC -not quite such a narrow neck as the Aerodyne but it's a great bass and no matter how much stuff I sell on Ebay my wife won't tolerate yet another bass in the house just now. I guess I just got impatient going ahead with the RI purchase but aside from wife issues I do want to give it a fair go (the RI that is) before committing to an Aerodyne. Damn - will definitely have to sell my motorbike now!
Musicman20 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 That's a cool design! I think the case is one of the generic flightcase warehouse ones with a fender logo added. They do the job though
guybrush threepwood Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Wow, never realised there was such a thing as an Aerodyne P-bass!
Mr Bassman Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 They are great basses! [attachment=74109:aero_2.jpg]
karlfer Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I am looking to exchange my 75 re-issue jazz for a Lakland Duck Dunn, as I need Precision pick up/jazz neck. These critters have got me thinking though.# Are they passive fellas? Cheers, Karl.

Probably a bit too far away for it to be practical for you, but if you happen to find yourself over this way, you're welcome to come and try it.

Old Horse Murphy Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) It's a gorgeous bass. Very light, sounds superb and is even more beautiful in the flesh Al is a great guy to deal with too. Edited March 8, 2011 by Old Horse Murphy
Shawman Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 lovely bass! getting pressured from the other half to buy this as it will go better in our living room than my natural $$ sadly, unless she wants to give me the cash for it...
