Up for sale, a 2004 Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass model AJB-58 in perfect working order, complete with the original gigbag and owner's manual. A “Crafted in Japan” exclusive model uncommon outside of its country of origin, this Aerodyne bass is unique both visually and sonically, combining a PJ pickup configuration and bound, contoured body with the sleek looks and comfortable 1 1/2“ nut width of the Jazz Bass.
This bass features a basswood body and a maple neck capped with a slab rosewood fretboard, delivering a smooth, balanced natural acoustic quality. The pickups offer the thump and growl of the Precision split-coil, balanced by the midrange cut and articulation of a Jazz Bass single coil at the bridge. This Aerodyne Jazz Bass weighs 9lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound string, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
