Calling Aerodyne Jazz Bass owners

Hi there - I am intrigued by the radiused/contoured top on these basses. Has anybody got any really good photos of their bass which shows this off? And does the contour of the top extend to the upper and lower horn too... or are they still flat?

I have the Preceision version, but a quick google for images of the jazz came up with [url="http://cachepe.zzounds.com/media/quality,85/brand,zzounds/p20661M-c7754139c69c97cb3720f061a5266843.jpg"]this[/url], and [url="http://images.miretail.com/products/optionLarge/Fender/574685.jpg"]this.[/url].

The contour like on the Pbass does continue into the upper and lower horns, but because they are narrow - , the contour isn't really that noticeable.

...until its binding edge starts cutting into your arm on a long gig. It's the shape of these basses that is the flaw in a very pretty design.

Thats the thing I am worried about. I'm looking for an example of a jazz bass that is radiused... but without the sharp edge! The closest things I can find are the instruments by Ibanez and Yamaha.

Seen those pics but they dont really give you a clear view point on the radius over the horns.
