Ummmmmm.
That's kinda scary though.
Haha yeah, but it plays like a dream, though. It's really nice for slapping, but it's really versatile overall.

Weight?
Is it kinda slippery to hold on to? I just went away from that routed-at-an-angle jack too!
Does it come in any other colors?
It's around 7 pounds, so it's nice and light.
Nah, it's no more slippery than your standard nitro paint. Maybe a little bit so, but it's hardly noticeable.
At this time, it only comes in black as far as I know. I'm sure there may be a custom colored one out there, though.
It's an unusual departure for Fender, it seems.

Sorry it took so long to get back - this site is taking forever to load a new page every time.
This last time it took almost 5 minutes to get back after three time-outs.
Listening, mods?
Look at the time and it's LATE:30 too! I know Jimmy is asleep or out gigging or whatever it is he does at night. And the rest of the world's in either deep sleep or should be there. I'm on the Left Coast so I get the remnants of the sunshine for the longest in the ConUS.

OK --- Hawaii and Guam aren't in my calculations - but they don't seem to post here much anyway - at least I don't see many of them noted in their posts if they are.
I've got some serious GAS for a Tony Franklin. Reading this thread didn't help my GAS pains at all.
The Reggie Hamilton Std Jazz is a GREAT bass w/ PJ pup format & active/passive option & 18v pre amp IIRC- damn & I got one too.... I SHOULD KNOW that!!! Oh & BTW- the pre amp batteries last & last!!
Yeah, they made this bass correctly without those terrible bumps on the board that some basses have.
Love these, the Non-Export Aerodynes meaning these are made in japan and they stay there unless you pay a pretty penny fos hipping it over here.
No-one's mentioned Invalid Link Removed yet?
I'm all over this one...

Stolen pics from TB. Also these are not "current" in production but great nonetheless.
Mid 90's Mexican Made fender precision special , Nickname "cowpoke". These are active and have 22 fret necks IIRC.
Hotrod P bass, made in late 90's, full width p bass neck IIRC
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Much like the jazz bass special in the OP but thiss is the "power" model its active and has a reversed P pickup also note the body contours in the horn area.

I didn't know that configuration ever existed. Very cool.
What I ASSumed was that ALL Deluxes were J/J. I just bought the MIM Deluxe J/J in black/tort and love it mucho.
You wouldn't be making a sashimi run anytime in the next few weeks?
Pick up one of these for me - OK?
What were you doing up at such a late hour to post that?
Big Daddy, I know what you mean. I tried a friend's TF fretless and got major gas for that thing - a real great-sounding player. I looked everywhere - here, eBay, Craigslist nationwide - and I couldn't find any for sale. I did find one online through the Guitar Center used site, but I decided to pass on it. It's still there, and probably fine, but I don't know. At any rate, I finally gave up and ... decided to order a new one, in the tortoise shell color. Waiting now.
There. Now your gas pain
should be eased. Or is it?the aerodyne basses are alright but my big complaint is they use basswood bodies. Infact, Fender doesn't even list the body wood on their website anymore. The "delux" part about the bass is mostly cosmetics. I thought the P-Bass Lyte's weren't too bad when it comes to a P/J configuration.
I have the MIM Deluxe Active Precision Bass Special in black with a rosewood fretboard. It is a joy to play, listen to, and look at. Just so you know, the pickguard isn't actual aluminum, it's a slab of gold-coloured vinyl, but it looks great and it's far from wimpy.
P-Deluxe with silver pearloid, on the right...(passive version)
I happen to be quite fond of P's with PJ combos myself.
GAS'n for that Tony Franlklin model, but fretless isn't my thing. I'd need one with those "wire things".
Well - Thursday I got to my fav GC and see what they have.
Maybe I'll find a P/J that works for me.
