TG Flatline Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Anyone else got one of these? I picked one up on ebay a couple of years ago, a red one, never seen one in that colour before so convinced the missus to lend me the money to get it (good girl) and have always thought it was the absolute tits. The studio we're recording at at the mo cream over it and can't believe it is 1) a fender, 2) a stock fender, and 3) that it is not active, as it sounds immense recorded. I'm on about getting another so I can shelve this one for studio only, but not at the expense of having a good bass live. Does anyone else use these? If so, is mine a one-off fluke and so I should not get another Aerodyne, or do they all sound great? I'm in two minds, and if I buy another and don't like it my bird is going to cut my nuts off!

The 'P' PUP adds so much mid and bass, so I find it great for changing to different sounds/styles in my cover band. I've just replaced the bridge PUP with a Wizard '84 to add a bit more bite. I've actually got mine up for sale (see Bass for Sale forum, as I've got the GAS for a particular axe, but if no one comes in for it, I'll still be happy to keep it!

Rayman Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Superb basses, I've often thought about getting one. Peter (Greeneking) has a beautiful white one, I think the non export version, which he's thinking of letting go if you're interested. It's a stunning bass, and I can't afford it.

TG Flatline Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Awesome. I've no idea which model mine is to be honest. I can tell you it's the older one (ie the one without the scratchplate or strat-style jack socket) and that's it! Cheers guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3V17C Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 never had an aerodyne, though quite like the P version as well as the J - good tunes on your band myspace by the way. peace c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayfan Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) I had a non-export one for a while. Great sound with a pick but found it a bit muddy otherwise (but I do like a SR modern sound) and I play fingerstyle 90% of the time. Nice looking bass (binding on body and finish were great) but it felt very old fashioned to play with a fair bit of neck dive. Horses for courses though - if we all liked the same thing etc etc... Glad you like yours! Edited July 15, 2008 by stingrayfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hiya Yep mine is the non export P/J and it's absolutely mint in that 'off white' colour (Olympic?) with black edging and scratchplate. It never gets played as I have about 19 other basses and only ever have 4 or 5 actually out of their cases. Every time I get it out I find myself wanting to hang on to it But, the right offer would make me consider letting it go to help fund Uni.

spike Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I've had mine for nearly a year now and I really love it. It looks good, it feels good and with a pair of wizards it sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick80 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) I've got the non-export model in old candy apple red with a set of wizards dropped in. With the neck pup solo'd it has that familiar p thump and with the bridge pup turned up, playing fingerstyle over the bridge it fairly barks! Great bass with a split personality in tones. I haven't had any issues with neck dive or muddiness. It balances perfectly on a strap and is bright enough for slap, if that sort of thing's your thing...

Buzz Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I've got one. I was going to sell it, but I might keep it once I replace the strings, the pup cover of the J (my VMJ has smooth rounded corners which are lovely to play on) as I'm finding it rather enjoyable after not playing it for 9 months. I'm in 2 minds, as I'm hankering over a j-j config, but the aero is nice to play and with few tweaks (and a pro setup) it'll be a dream to play.
