Guest Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) ya bugger! i was also bidding on this but due to other imminent purchases i couldn't go any higher considering the shipping and tax/import duty. congratulations let us all know what the total price comes to and more importantly how it sounds, ive got them, i have added them to my favourite sellers, they had a fender jaguar in vintage white a while ago which gave me i very bad GAS attack. hope you enjoy it looks like a beauty.

I popped in to try some p.a. monitors and came home with a bass! No it wasn't hidden when you visited, it was on loan to one of my mates. He plays a Wal 5 mostly, but used this on a gig and was really impressed. He's thinking of going back to 4 strings now. Edited May 28, 2007 by Mr Bassman Quote
Bernmeister Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Oh just as well i didn't see it really as i may have made you an offer for it It would have taken more than a box of choccies to persuade the mrs to let me through the front door, after my visit to you. Quote

The few I tried did not match up to his example which has an amazing neck and balances really well. Then I saw this and took a fancy to it. My 75 jazz stays at home now. Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 That's one nice bass! Hope it makes it, too. Quote
guitarnbass Posted May 28, 2007 Author Posted May 28, 2007 I would have sooner gotten a P like your one, but a j will do. Quote

Chop Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Mr Bassman... This is a pretty bass, but I've been out of playing since about '90 (kids house wife etc, how did that happen?), and getting back into it I've discovered many differnet Fender models than I knew before ! - Can you tell me, how does an Aerodyne differ from MIA standard or is it just a cosmetic thing? Thanks for the advice Chop Quote
Rayman Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 That's very nice, looks a bit like the Victor Bailey jazz doesn't it? Quote

krazy_olie Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Nice!, just noticed that this guy has Bacchus basses at good prices. Quote
ped Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Ollie, Those Bacchus basses are the 'universe' series, the cheaper line made in Korea as opposed to the handmade Japanese models. Still look great for the money though. Quote
krazy_olie Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Ah explains that then, they still look quite nice. Quote
ped Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 They do indeed. Must be worth a punt at that price! Quote

NJE Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Thats a cracker of a bass. i followed the link to the sellers ebay store. Is he for real because some of those guitars are going at silly money. Has everyone had good dealings with him because if so I have my eye on a reissue 53 P. I fancy going for a bit of a Sting vibe. Again lovely basses, how come there is never anything about these models on the fender site? Quote
krazy_olie Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Because they are made for the Japanese domestic market only. They are on the fender japan website, although it's hard to make much sense of that. Note that the shipping isn't cheap and you could pay import duty on it too. Quote
guitarnbass Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Got this today, it's lovely, much prettier in the flesh. Got a £90 custom charge though. Quote
krazy_olie Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Too bad about the custom charge. They are top of the range Fender Japan so you got it for a good price even with the customs charge. Quote
nik1093 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 wait dont aerodynes have the p-bass pickups and that pickup switch or that just on american models? Quote
