Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass AJB-65 Black 2008
Fender Aerodyne Jazz, black. crafted in Japan 2007-10. The Aero J is bit of a cult classic model from Fender Japan, they're a very fun bass to play as well as looking very slick. This one has played a few tunes in it's time, as evidenced by the scuffs and dings around the place, but hey: basses are for playing, right? It's fun in the hands: lightweight, slick neck, solid hardware, responsive... it feels good. The tone is more scooped and modern than a regular Jazz Bass, but it has plenty of kick through the low end and a strong fundamental note, which should sit on the bottom end of a mix convincingly. Funk as puck!
