All user reviews of 5/5 for the Fender Deluxe Aerodyne Jazz Bass

Japanese body at the end, rather passive, lightweight, pretty face, beautiful dress
dropoff Window

USE

Handle very easy and enjoyable to play
Lower trslgre (thank you with a fine body and essence (linden)). Suffering from back I greatly appreciates ...

SONORITS

Versatile bass with both micro Jazz and Accuracy. I play many styles and therefore appreciates this versatility
A new bridge would probably be interesting but I gard the original one at the moment.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I like so much that I have two. A mounted flat net and a std net.
benefits: Versatility, lgeret sleeve price

the disadvantages: most finishes are not exported outside of Japan. One can find intermediates, but no possible fitting ...

I ordered this bass off Musiciansfriend.com It was alittle more expensive, $630 but it was well worth it.

I really like the look of this bass, its sleek black color is perfect all over the bass. It has alot of really high quality parts too and its a fender so it must be good.

The only thing I don't like about the bass is that it has a P-bass pickup and a J-bass pickup, its really awkward.

The constrution is perfect, with seemless curves. I think its one of the best built fenders out there now. I haven't had a problem yet with it.

If you want a beautiful bass thats high quality and medium cost buy this bass, its an awsome choice for the jazz bass player.

Purchased from ProSound in Denver, Colorado. I wanted a bass that could get both Jazz and Precision bass vibes, and this one not only had that, but was extremely classy looking. I paid $599.

Tone. Classic Fender bass tones, from Jamerson's P-bass thump to Jaco's Jazz bass growl and burp, and all points in between. I need a lot of tonal flexibility and this bass has it.

Construction. The construction is good, too. The neck joint is tight and solid, the electronics are good, tuners too.

Looks. The bass is very classy, period.

No color choices. I might have preferred a tobacco burst to black.

Fender strings. Yuck!

I prefer strings-through-body but it's not a huge deal.

I feel the quality of this Japanese-built instrumentis as good as the U.S.-made Fender instruments I have owned. It feels very solid to me.

A "can't miss" buy for any bassist. The bass sits well in the mix, plays easily and is lightweight. I'm really enjoying it.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months.
The quality of wood and his Fender.
The extra look, black with the white net crme which frames.
A beautiful SERIES.
Weight to play a long standing ...
Trs good price for an almost amricaine.
No regrets, except for not having bought more than tt!

Low factory in Japan, with accessories US
Affects 20 frets,, short scale,, super enjoyable
2 microphones US,, precision in the center and Jazz bass to treble,,, What tone range!
The rglages are identical the US Jazz Bass,,,, I changed the buttons mtal by original Jazz Bass,,, got question ....
While the handle, is the highway, a rgal,,, nothing wrong ..........

UTILIZATION

It is,, The Channel! ! ! Access in acute poses no problem (requires Fender)
The basswood body of the Jazz Bass has matured in thickness t,,, which gives it a weight gain not ngligeable,,, especially when you play three hours standing.
Its black lacquer with its binding crme,,, ct Classy strengthens the scraper.
The mixing of the two microphones, with a bit of experience, is a rgal on my Ampeg Rocket 100.

SOUNDS

Styles are trs Varis,,, POP and fairly Blues, but the Slappeur rgaler must be able to as well.
Personally, my sounds are prfrs Pop are very fat, and the sound waves passing through a New BassAttack of Hartke,,,

OVERALL OPINION

I possde several Basses (500 / 1 Hofner-Rickenbecker 4001 - Gretsch Tennessean Line 6 Variax bass), but it is my Low of references that most closely matches my expectations of music, others are more types or specially
In addition, the purchase price of this bass, bought in September 2004, is located between Mexico and a US, so report quality / price excellent,,, Also,,, I believe that c is a SERIES limit and it will be impossible to dnicher one in a while! !

Factory in Japan
22 frets, a micro starfish, a micro jazz bass
Two volumes (one for each pickup) and a tone

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice, now I know what does the word "Fender" ^ ^
the sound is great and very easy to modify, in fact I find it a little too sharp, which is why I lower the precision

SOUNDS

She is very versatile, slap, blues, rock, funk ... anything goes!
I play on a Hartke B300 and an electro harmonix bassball
As stated above, the sound is a bit sharp for my taste

OVERALL OPINION

I have since September 2006 and not jsuis deu
I love the comfort and style
I tried before a stagg (rotten) a Mexican jazz bass, a precision of 51,
a mustang but I prefer the Aerodyne
BOUGHT a 900 for a bass that is well worth the U.S. (I compared with that of my teacher) is a good report quality price
I make this choice of the ds dparts ...
I put 9 / 10 but for me it a 9.5/10

Lightweight and very classy color with black lacquer white edging.
Passive, a very versatile round comfort between the micro and precision JazzBass cot bridge, one volume for each pickup and a knob of Tone

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable end
Very good mcanique
Lgres and well balance
Super playable
J've replaced the pickups with Dimarzio home, that can make a super balance at the rglages microphones.

SOUNDS

I play on a Marshall Dynamic Bass stack 4x10 & 2x15
J have a very round sound that matches my style is very rock in all, a fan of AC-DC, Led Zep, Deep Purple, Rolling Stones, ZZ-Top (J'tais glad to see bassist ZZ-Top played on a Fender Aerodyne the Festival Clapton), James Brown, John Scofield, Canned Heat, Blues Rock, Soul, Funk, Jazz and all that groove

OVERALL OPINION

I bought the 2006 and do not really regret, I play since 1985 and I can tell you that I've had normment of models of different basses, Fender Jazz Bass and Several precision, and Warwick and a host of other brands have dfile in my legs, but I'm glad it suits me and I feel good, happy short, the evidence j still have a Jazz Bass Americans, and I play prfere The Aerodyne she did not really envy him ... My son Charlie is happy, I gave him the pass JazzBass but L Aerodyne it does not, it's Papa hbr h />
For the price, 799 Euro in Germany at Thoman
A superb low finish

Made in Japan, 20 frets, 2 volume and Tone is a rgal the handle, the instrument is beautiful. The person I bought it has plates Abalone inlay on the handle, working pro. Unique touch. The original pickups are really good, well balanced and musical. But the snarling rock I play, I've replaced with Seymour Duncan (SPB-3-3 and Sjb Quarter-Pound P-Bass). Big big big sound, with the same balance and variation on the same. A killing.

UTILIZATION

The handle is perfect I got, fast, comfortable, Access in acute nickel. Ergonomics default, clean finish. Gloss messy, but resistant. Reduces the weight by the bevel of the body is an important asset, the sustain is exemplary throughout the spectrum. No fatigue APRS several hours. Choose the rglage you want, the sound is good trs, with the original pickups, with the new standard.

SOUNDS

I play a lot of things, mostly rock (from folk to metal). Aerodyne fits perfectly in my snarling rock (example http://www.myspace.com/themightyastromen/ ).
The sound is warm, prcis, living, dynamic (thank you to liabilities), all the nuances emerge from pianissimo to fortissimo. I use most often to catch the two microphones (shuffled subtle PB / JB) and I play slightly on the volume of one or the other the opportunity to emphasize the bass or treble. SECRTS my boot? I spend a SansAmp Bass Driver DI (plus a boost and distortion boss crushes for any occasion Resistors ). My sound is close trs qq is the amp (RPET, concerts, etc.). Middle and large. All trs not sound far from a Sub ... the wise ..

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 14 months. I see nothing against him. If this is to quibble varnish messy, but who cares. I tried to active (not enough living, dynamic my taste), the Fender more traditional, a bit of everything. But this step-the conquered me. The report quality price? I had a monster bowl, buy a fan on ebay 550euros the nine state, fly included. I resign my eyes closed. Such an instrument that price is indcent. It is true that the price of nine, began to do some chrot. But this is an excellent instrument, musical, finishing at its irrprochable with its own personality (JB / PB, look, weight, etc.). Do not insist, I do not sell!

That says it all down ^ ^
I just put 9 because not enough hoops for my taste (21 would be better t)

UTILIZATION

The top handle is comfortable, just the absence of request keying a little time to adapt ...
the last frets are very accessible
the form of specific instruments AIRCRAFT actually trslger
the knobs allow many combinations diffrent ...

SOUNDS

I play rock in major part, so the PB mic is perfect for this genre, but to pair marrive to JB for a more vintage
I play on an amp Ashdown Mag 300-115 and I have a big muff and a Nano bassball United States both in the EH
I do not have all the sounds Retailer possible but say versatility is required (with a lower limit for the slap anyway)
IMENSIONS and I love this panel!

OVERALL OPINION

I have for over a year now
jadore possibilities of the two mics DIFFERENT
I esaaye many other models in Fender (I really wanted one ^ ^)
I think the price is justified (899 in Belgium) since it is a deluxe low
if I could, yes I would do this choice

Well, at this level, no need to dwell more than what has been said, except to say that despite the fact that this is not an American, it is very well made, the finish is very good, Mechanical do their job. For now, no problem at the technical level (it is about 6 months I use it). Worth a good little 9 / 10, remembering that this is not a Fender, which would surely US cost four times as much, if you want to compare it to a P-bass deluxe example.

UTILIZATION

Also a 9 / 10. The first thing that shocks by taking the low hand is its weight. Incredibly light for a low, very nice for shorter riders like me, so I can move without too much soreness the next day, but I also think it's very enjoyable for everyone.

Then the handle: it is a very nice race rather late, although there are much smaller. Anyway very nice to handle and convenient to maneuver "risky" leaves a great freedom of movement, in fact, for small hands.

Otherwise, the sound will depend more than the amp as the bass, which can be configured at leisure in the manner of a P-bass or Jazz bass, with little more roundness in particular. We must make the right choice between the two microphones, equalization choose between the two, and it provides a range of sounds rather large and very varied.

SOUNDS

I play in a rock band French tend to quiet, with acoustic guitar and piano. I was looking for a sound that can be well rounded, and with the assembly of the two pickups I could get what I wanted.

Unfortunately, my current hardware does not allow me to draw all its essence, far from it. In fact, I only have a Hartke amp 30watts. Rather pathetic is not it? Anyway, the times I could use another amp, the bass was up to its name. Fender, the king of electric basses! My experience was the most conclusive of Warwick Pro Fet amplifier 5.1. I had to spend about 1 hour to complete the settings on both the bass on the amp, only to get a splendid, which was well defined while still being very round.

I was also able to get fun sound very rock cutting, for example, the microphone located in the simple bridge, in order to get the sound of a P-bass. Or otherwise obtain a sound worthy of a Jazz-bass by decreasing the microphone volume double.

Obviously it's a long job of mixing multiple settings with those of an amplifier, also many of the bass. But the sound is there! With a little time can be achieved with its huge range of the bass sound worthy of the big rock greasy (but are not as effective as a MusicMan example) to its all round very soft like that I was looking for .

This bass deserves a good 10/10, as its palette of sound is not only huge but also quality.

OVERALL OPINION

So here is obtained by a low offer a very wide range of sounds, great quality and a good finish.

It also has a great look, which plays a lot in its favor, it must be said. Moreover, it is still a small effect on stage! But as the look is not everything, it should first be able to make their own opinion. If you are looking for an aggressive sound, this bass is not so much for you, although it is possible to take something out! But for everything else, from blues to punk (old punk, or bass guitar as much as disgusting), but rather it should do well. Unfortunately, it remains very difficult to find in stores, which forced me to order it online. With a guarantee of course.

Fortunately, I was not disappointed, quite the contrary! I have tried the Fender P-bass and Jazz bass, for example, and Ibanez, offering the same principle of microphones. The sound is halfway between the two Fender, although different, not worse, but different, and significantly different from Ibanez!

This "Jazz-Bass" Aerodyne is a unique low, which of the mouth and sound! I will surely keep a few more good years!

Its price is largely justified, I would do this choice. And if one day I can afford (we can always dream!), I hope that the reissue Fender US version, so you can use the low of my career, in my opinion.

For both beginners and experienced, this bass is an excellent choice. 10/10.

Made in japan
20 frets, a micro-bp central bridge and jb
A microphone and a volume Tone gnrale

UTILIZATION

Channel trs enjoyable, fairly late "a German motorway"
accsa dernire the cargo limit but good all the same ...
the styling of the body offers good ergonomics, comfortable sitting as standing
it takes a little time to adapt when the rglages, but once you understand the stuff is crazy!

SOUNDS

I play a little bit of everything from funk to reggae but also rock, and is comfortable in trs all these styles
I play on a Genz-Benz with an hp 15 "
thanks to two types of microphones, we find the fender's either bp or so jb: bass round and lime but also very sharp and crystal clear treble (with good rglages)
I put him 10/10 because I am falling in love ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month and I do lche more! I especially like the beautiful black dress and the standard range of sounds it offers ... The bass is versatile than I expected!
I tried jazz bass in the same price range, and has dmarque far ...
qualitprix the report is standard, I do it again this choice plutt ten times that!
despite what I think, this is only my opinion and it would be better if you even eesayez you to judge ...

- In what country does she makes? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
JAPAAAAAAN!

- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
contrary to a previous opinion, I have 20 frets and not 22. This bothers me a little .. it stops at the top r, and I confess I have a prfre fret over to finish on a mid to top! for micro adj ca t said.

- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
standard rack. I plan to replace it with a badass II.

- What are the rglages (Volume, Tone slecteur micro ...)?
everything is already said.

- What type of race?
C handle, fender standard pitch. Aerodyne attention there are "short scale" with shorter pitch.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it enjoyable?
trs enjoyable. C shape thank you!

- Access in acute (dernires freight) is it easy?
is fair, it's not on a neck-through, but it's not a guitar either!

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
impeccable! I love the table bomb! no too heavy nor too light. well balanced, the bass stays in place even if you jump in all directions.

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
Yes. very versatile thanks to the precise configuration + jazz. only problem is that we often turn two knobs at the same time when you want to change color in full play

SOUNDS

- Appropriate are your style of music?
Yes. I play dub, rock, funk, reggae, ska / punk. it goes everywhere.

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
of a fender I know how old that makes more MODEL, a 100W with a 15 HP. "mainly a Tech21 XXL distortion, a DOD envelope filter.

- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
you can almost do anything! it is true that when you have to push in the exreme a style you feel the limits. example for a more than heavy, jaime best active equalization, but the amp peak ca.

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?
the sound "just a background" is nikel!
neck pickup a pickup hit bottom + + = cut Tone happiness

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
1 year

- What is the particular feature you like most?
the look (white with black binding), the sound, versatility

- The least?
book with the cover: not padded ... buying has become a softcase.

I never store a low flash. the one I bought without trying it lay, and I flash.

- How do you report qualitprix?
TOP! I did it import without going through a retailer! and as the yen was very weak I've gained a lot. I had to pay a little less than 600 euros total (ports, customs and taxes). there is much for the price.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
o

-Made in Japan
Channel: 20 frets, 34 "
-2 Microphones: 1 Precision Bass and Jazz Bass
-3 Knobs: 1 volume + 1 tone micro
Flip-standart = a vulgar piece of bent sheet metal ...

Fender's standard in this price range. I'm still very disappointed by the bridge ... on the other hand buttons, mechanical and hearsay are finished easel "Smoked Chrome" the most beautiful effect. It was the note at 7 / 10.

UTILIZATION

I turned initially for a Jaguar Bass (active) but I was initially disappointed by the sound and especially the imbalance of the entire instrument!

So I rabatu Aerodyne to this shape, and look so appealing. The instrument is lightweight and much more balanced. The handle is a delight! and access to the treble is fairly easy.
I play finger and I can position my right hand perfectly and is pretty cool!

At the sound, the knobs do not allow very fine adjustment. Rather, the on / off ... This will reduce my rating to 7 / 10.

SOUNDS

I play in a rock band. It was pretty raw sound and pure. (Http://www.myspace.com/clocknworks) This bass suits me especially in this style. The roundness is just intoxicating highs are crisp, good depth ... "/>
However, it does not leave a very diverse range of sounds ... but the little she does, she does it well! and as I said, the knobs do not allow precise mix of the 2 microphones ...
Sometimes I have to play on stage directly with a junction box (no amp) with this bass and my sound was still cool.

I play mainly finger out but the bass sounds too perfect to slap or pick.

OVERALL OPINION

I have the bass for 6 months now. This is my second bass. I was looking for a proper instrument to play with my band. It works well for sounds that I wanted. Moreover it is really beautiful. We could play in his underwear kangaroo with this bass, you're still the class!

However, I begin to have toured the sounds and I feel a bit limited ... I think I will evolve into an active bass or at least a passive offers a range of sounds a little wider.

The quality / price ratio is almost perfect, just missing a bridge a little less cheap. I tried a lot of other bass in the same price range (900 to 1000 €) and Fender just kidding about this.

At the time, I was reluctant with Sandberg J-style in the same price ... I do not regret it, but almost!

If this bass suits your sound, go for it without hesitation: she is beautiful, efficient, balanced and pleasant, even flattering to be used.
If you are looking for a truly versatile instrument, go your way.
