Has anyone got anything to say about these basses I'm close to clicking buy now!!

[razze06]

jazz or precision?

they're both great imo

I was after one last year, they were everywhere second hand, here , ebay etc. By the time I'd got the money together...nothing but tumbleweed.
I got a US jazz in the end.
I did try one in Guitar Guitar in Brum, it wasn't set up (only the US delux stuff was) but it was still nice. If I could convince my wife that she needs one...(I'd even let her keep it with my basses)
BTW - the staff at guitar guitar were very helpful , I'd be happy to buy from them if I was after a new bass.

I had the Jazz version - great bass, still think about buying another every now & then. I changed the bridge J pickup to a Seymour Duncan Hot Stack, as for one, it was what Duff McKagan uses, and for two, it was hum-cancelling. The bass itself was a joy to play, and nice & lightweight. The P/J combination I think is great. If I had to pick one negative it was no dots on the fretboard - not a huge downer though, is it?

I have one. I think no dots on the fretboard is a plus! There are dots on the side of the neck so you can tell what you're playing.

I have changed the pickups to bartolinis, and I also changed the bridge to a Babicz but the bridge swap hasn't really changed anything really. Other than that, great bass, super light and comfortable neck.

I got to spend the night with an Aerodyne Jazz when I replaced the output jack on my friend's. A lovely-looking and sounding bass - the neck was particularly nice on it.

Did I want to keep it? Yes, I did!

Get one,,,you will not be disappointed...I still think of the one I had.. I let it go because i though a MM bongo was all I needed......thats gone too!

Thanks guys appreciate you thoughts and time:)

I'll add positive comments too. Easy to play, with a slick, fast neck, I love the minimalist black look, enhanced by lack of fret markers. Versatile too and lighter than most basses.

My Jazz-owning nephew came to stay and although I told him he could noodle on any of my basses, it was the Aerodyne he played the most.

Ok fellers I now own the aerodyne and it's truly a beautie !! I love it!! Thanks again guys for your thoughts

[LawrenceH]

Good choice! I bought one to sell on, eyeing a quick profit but I couldn't bring myself to part with it! I am just [s]butchering[/s] carefully defretting it now to justify keeping it. The pickups are hot and fat, I think it'll sound great as a fretless.

Pics now and after would be sweet??
