A few weeks ago I bought a black MiJ from a friend, who bought a new Precision Deluxe MiM. It needed a lot of care and love so I took it apart, cleaned it, gave it a setup, changed the pups for cream DiMarzios, Richter passive electronics, dome knobs from allparts and put Bassculture Black Nylon Strings on it. Here we have a motown killer bass...Here are some pictures. It plays wonderful, is featherlight and sounds beautiful.
Great idea about the cream pickups, they look awesome!
Thanks.
Now I got really bad G.A.S. and I have to change my shorts!

dahyam! I gotta get over to Japan and buy a bunch of those different colors lol
A lot of the serial number daters get it wrong, one said mine was a 96, they weren't even made then lol. I did find one that got it right but I didn't save the link.
Woah. Have you seen this that just showed up on Reverb? If we weren't downsizing hard, I'd already own it just for the looks!

Kinda ugly in red! I have the J bass Aerodyne, much better looking IMO. Plus, you can get a brand new one for that price.
Beauty and value are in the eye of the beholder, for sure.
But the biggest difference is that this one is a Precision Bass Special. Not the same critter as your jazz.
I like them both, just not a fan of red, unless it's Ferrari Also, I guess the input jack is on the edge? Mine has the recessed angled front jack. Thanx for the welcome, lots of great stuff on here! Here's my quiver...
Yep, jack on the lower edge.
Nice family photo! Between those axes and the artwork, I'm sensing a theme...
I see there is an offer already. One of us?
Not me, unless I did it in my sleep. Which is possible.
And they just dropped the price.
How do I justify having more than one of a certain model?! Color alone won't make a solid case. I already have a jazz bass (which is CAR, anyway), a P/J, and a EBMM so I can't make the "unique pickup" argument. I have basses with flats and rounds... We're planning some international travel soon, so I really need to be leaning away from rosewood just to reduce the hassle factor.
But man.

I'm sad to see you suffering my brother, so I'll do my best to help. You most definately need a red Aerodyne. And they reduced the price you say. I can't see how you have any other choice but to buy it, it would be dumb not too. Tell the wife all these arguments, and if she still argues about it, get in touch and I'll give her a call lol
It could possibly be a couple oz's less, as My scale only reads 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4's. If it were anything over 1/2, it would say 3/4.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!!!

Replaced the knobs....cream pickguard on the way.
Nice. I did the same. Screw set knobs on split shaft pots or does your have solid shaft pots?
