MGR/Denver Ken « Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass »
Published on 08/26/03 at 15:00Purchased 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.
