FS: Fender Aerodyne Precision Bass

gunkle · #1 01-15-2012, 10:10 AM

I'm the only owner of this one. I wanted a lighter PJ bass and this fit the bill (it's 8.8 lbs on my digital bathroom scale). This bass has been played and has the usual dings and scratches that come from gigging.

This model is now discontinued.

Up until recently it had an EMG PJ set in it. I had the body professionally routed for a 18-volt battery compartment. The EMG P pickup died on me. I will include the EMG PJ set if you want. If you're electronically inclined perhaps you can bring it back from the dead. I put the stock pickups back in and they are fully functional. The leads from the battery compartment are still in the cavity, so you could use it for a different preamp.

Price is $650 shipped U.S.

What's the width at the nut? Jazz neck?

gunkle · #3 01-15-2012, 10:54 AM

It's 41mm at the nut. The neck feels like a beefier Jazz.

I'm not interested in any trades. I'm selling this to pay for an amp I just bought.

Personatech · #7 01-16-2012, 06:02 AM

Japanese like the other Aerodynes, I assume? Carved top with binding? How cool is that?!

gunkle · #8 01-16-2012, 06:03 AM

Yes, yes, and yes.

TimBosby · #9 01-16-2012, 06:29 AM

These are excellent basses.

Can we get a sun lit shot of that flame maple veneer? It's hard to make out with the reflection of your ceiling.

Oh so tempting. Love the color. Wish you were interested in partial trades to knock off a few bucks.

gunkle · #13 01-18-2012, 05:38 PM

I'll take a sun light shot tomorrow am.

I'm trying to sell my Schecter right now to cover this, so be patient. BTW, does it come with a case or gig bag?

Peace,
Greg

gunkle · #15 01-18-2012, 05:53 PM

I'll include a gig bag with this, yes.

Here's my sad attempts to capture the wood grain on my iPhone. Hope it helps.

gunkle · #18 01-19-2012, 11:56 AM

I think these are a little better. Pardon the dust on the battery compartment.

danibal · #19 01-20-2012, 08:17 AM

I've been looking for this bass for years. I was goolging it and found this forum so I signed up and became a member. So I've never done this before. So Waugh do I need to do now? Haha

gunkle · #20 01-20-2012, 08:45 AM

Payment pending from danibal.
