2011 Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass PJ Vintage White Near-Mint, Japan MIJ

Up for sale, a 2011 Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass model AJB in near-mint condition and in perfect working order. A “Made in Japan” model sold exclusively within the Japanese domestic market, this Aerodyne is unique both visually and sonically, with features including a PJ pickup configuration, bound body, and gloss Vintage White finish with matching headstock. Weighing 8lbs 10oz, tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and thick slab rosewood fretboard.

While most Fender basses outfitted with the PJ pickup configuration use a Precision-style body, this Aerodyne has the sleek looks and comfortable 1 1/2” nut width of the Jazz Bass. The pickups offer the ample thump and heft of a Precision split-coil neck pickup, and the midrange cut and articulation of a Jazz Bass pickup at the bridge. This AJB benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, comfortable action, and accurate intonation.
