Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass AJB-65 Satin Black 2004
Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass, satin black, crafted in Japan 2004-5. The Aerodyne J is a certified Fender Japan classic; they always turn heads in the shop and are just just a great player's bass. The combo of a carved, bound top, matching headstock and metal top-hat knobs makes for a slick aesthetic. The neck is slim and finished in slick satin, which paired with the lightweight ergonomically friendly body, makes for an easy playing feel. The tone is a slightly more scooped and modern take on the classic Jazz punch. There's plenty of variation on offer via the P/J setup, it's a handy little combo. The satin black is a cool look too, it's less common than the gloss black or the metallic charcoal finishes you see around on this model.
