The wood has almost nothing to do with what people hear. |

I'm not a Mod of course but this is specifically the "Aerodyne Club" thread.

Calling it's tone "dark" because someone feels basswood sounds dark is misleading. It takes two seconds to make an Aerodyne sound brighter than Sirius or anywhere in between. |

Was the Aerodyne P bass basswood? |

Was the Aerodyne P bass basswood? | It was basswood with a flame... Veneer? Or a top.
Some Squiers are alder, agathis or soft maple BYW.

Great looking and GREAT playing! They are LIGHT and extremely comfy with the J profile necks (a personal preference). Best of all, they are great sounding axes and the fit and finish on these are spectacular!
After taking possession of the P yesterday, I'm thinking of unloading one of the Js to fund another one. 
2 increasingly rare non-strat-output CIJ Js and one CIJ P:

If I was to mod my Aerodyne, I would make it a sexy gloss black, matching gloss black headstock, with black chrome hardware, P and J pickups... oh wait... I've already got one.
