    Do people still recommend EMG Geezers? You could try those too. It's been recommended to me, but personally I like the sound of the stock pups on mine, because it sounds indeed more modern and aggressive than my AmStd P-Bass. Bare in mind I have the old Aerodyne and not the new one. I do not...

    Also, I've fitted a white moto pickguard to mine a while ago but never posted the pic (or so I think?) Makes the blue pop even more. I'll take a proper pic some other time with my DSLR since the lighting was poopoo on that pic. Doesn't do the color justice.

    Aah that's still ok anyway. I really wanted to believe it was violet. That color is excruciatingly hard to find.

    It seems too dark to be Crimson red. I posted another violet APJ in my NBD thread somewhere and it looks closer to that. If anyone here wants to buy it, try and ask for better pics xD

    Holy balls, guys. An AJB110 DMC has appeared, and I'm pretty sure it's in violet and not red like the seller mentions.

    They're brighter. They have the right amount of clarity and punch, without being excessive. As someone who plays hard rock mostly, it fits my style. If I need even more for stuff like slap, that's when I'll use Slinkies. 45's are more mellow.
  28. Shirobon

    Fender Aerodyne Club!

    Personally I'm a Rotosound guy, so I use Swing bass 66's on mine. If I need clarity/bright strings I'll go for Slinky's, but I don't like how they feel. They do sound bright and punchy. We all have different tastes here so it's impossible to recommend a set in particular.

    #184 Welcome to the cool kids club. Those saddles aren't the regular ones though. Never noticed that before. Did Fender finally develop something other than the barrel shaped ones for the regular bridge? Current list:

    Fender Jazz Bass Special - Circa 1984-87

    It's a shame that Fender isn't selling replacements from the new Boxer series, they would have sold thousands as practically every original example needs a good set. Easy money for them.

    Fender Jazz Bass Special - Circa 1984-87

    Imo, it wasn't just Fender. Gibson/Epiphone, Ibanez, etc.. all made some fun stuff in the 80's, not to mention all the Aria's and copyright basses. That, and the 80's were fueled by pure cocaine so... yeah.

    Very. Made from 2006 to 2008 and it didn't sell well.

    I guess it's a Jazz thing because my Aerodyne P-bass is exactly the same as any other P-bass in terms of positioning.

    Fender Aerodyne Club!

    I find my Aerodyne to be punchy so I think you just need other strings. I default to Rotosound Swing Bass 66. But if I want extra clarity, Ernie Ball Slinkies in 105. But you're gonna get a lot of different opinions when it comes to strings. It really depends on your style and what you're...

    Do not trust Fender's website to lookup SN as it doesn't include past japanese Fenders. Mine is also a CIJ that starts with S. Finish is also flamed and not quilted. Reverb is also not the "end all be all" place to sell guitars. A lot of japanese vendors will use Ebay instead of Reverb for...
