Hi Jeff. I've had my Aerodyne for a couple months now but I wasn't going to ask for a member number until I posted a pic of it. I'm gonna get off my butt and clean and polish it so it looks as good as possible. Then take a pic and post it. I think I'll do that now and take a pic. Stay tuned fearless leader

gave it a quick clean, eventually I'll take it apart and spit shine it. so I'll ask for a member number now Jeff.

Looking forward to it!
Also, I'm more like a secretary. I just hand out numbers. We're all leaders in the Aerodyne Republic!
I'm still on the lookout for a knob. If you look close you'll see I'm missing the tone knob. Can anyone tell me where I can get one? I'd love an original Aerodyne knob.here's a couple pics of my baby

Dude, that bass sizzles. Now I'm a little embarrassed about my dust rag cleaning job.
You are #164!
And I saw your earlier mention about the knob--I'm no help, but hopefully someone will know!

Thanks for the compliment on my bass. Like the rest of us, I love my bass. And thanks for the number. I'm now an official Aerodyne boy lol.

have any of you guys confirmed any replacement bridges with adjustable spacing that would fit inside the recess that some of the aerodyne jazzes have?
That recess is something I absolutely hate about Aerodynes. I've noticed the string ball ends don't have enough room and often get stuck (E and A specifically), twisting string cores as a result
ugh, well, that sucks
Recently, I had a "DIY/kit-bash brainstorm" about that issue, but I don't own an Aerodyne with a recessed bridge to try it out upon. I started wondering if that excess space could be filled by way of an index card that was trimmed to fit the recessed area. Once in place, use a slightly pointy implement…a pencil, toothpick or something similar…to pop small pilot holes for the bridge screws to work their way through. I mean, what is paper but pulped and compressed wood, right?
Anyway, it's just a little idea I had, so I thought I'd share it with all y'all. If someone tries it, please report your findings…pass or fail.
I just bought myself a pristine 03! Will get a pic up soon.
Simply beautiful and great playing bass, haven’t put it down since I got it a week ago, good thing it’s light!

...and most likely also a question of strings and pick up adjustment. I think mine is rather bassy an rather lacks in the high mids. As far as I know I habve a 2006 non-export model with pickguard.
Are those LaBellas? How do you like them? I have their tapewounds on my Aero P. I've used them on my fretless basses in the past, as well, and am a fan of the tension, but I think they might be a little loose for my drop-D tuner.
Jeff,
The guy I purchased it from said they were daddario flats. Everything I’ve seen seems to confirm that.
I have Ti jazz flat wound on my p-bass, they are my favorite. These are nice, good tone and tension,

Gang - I'm selling the hardware and electronics (PJ) from my Aerodyne remodel project. I've gotten the tuners posted, will have the rest up today or tomorrow, if anyone is interested in parts!
