Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass - EMPIRE MUSIC

[@TheMlvswoll]

Probably one of the best looking basses Fender dropped.

[@danielbrunner7730]

I had a squier affinity pj bass that I bought in the package. I bought it in September and started taking lessons in November. I first upgraded to a rumble 200 and then bought an Ibanez but decided I was going to take it back and get the bass I really want. Soon as I picked this up that was a wrap!!!! Just picked it up today and I'm still giddy like a lil kid and I'm 43! Lol

[@b17bass59]

Ive had mine for nearly two years. It’s TOP NOTCH! Mine has been used for gigging multiple times a week and has been through many travels . It has continued perform like brand new. Remember to keep it clean and perform your annual maintenance and this bass is worth the money.

[@alramone1]

what kind of annual maintenance does this bass need?

[@jacobpeck9372]

@@alramone1 just get a setup by your local luthier or guitar tech, like any other bass or guitar

[@zachmetcalf556]

Would you recommend doing so yearly?

[@jacobpeck9372]

@@zachmetcalf556 yes because climate, humidity and many other factors can throw your bass setup off.

[@mikemcconville2495]

These have been around a few years. Any idea why they’ve blown up all of the sudden?

[@judowrestlerka]

This is one of Fenders best bang for the buck basses ever. Its almost like the Tony Franklin Precisiom Bass for Jazz Bass players.

[@jsorensen]

I got mine as a open box deal and couldn't be happier. It just has such an amazing smooth feel to it, loads of bottom & still sharp sounding. The neck plays smooth & quick. So easy to get around the neck you'd think it was a short scale! Sounds amazing with the EHX Bass Soul Food pedal.

[@BlountForce]

Thinking about ordering that Soul Food pedal. Thanks for the recommendation

[@lucaswallo8127]

cool

[@MutambaBrazil]

My dream bass, hope to be able to buy it someday, hehe.

[@jacobmelgar38]

It’s at a reasonable price, not too expensive and not too cheap, that’s what makes it a great buy in my opinion.

[@Wob-O]

If you buy it from Sweetwater.com you can do 6 payments

[@thom6432]

Same my friend.

[@lassel1644]

Maybe you try to import it from Japan... or check Ebay . Half the prize in some cases

I know im asking randomly but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.

[@Ben_Mdws]

My favourite sounding Fender bass.

[@peter12246]

Bought one a month ago, amazing bass for the price. Love it!

[@abdielmartinez6964]

Fuuck, I wish to have so much money that 900 bucks is cheap

[@peter12246]

Abdiel Martinez I waited 2 years to get it, I said I’ll finally buy it, they put the price up 100 dollars more after the Covid lockdown. I complained to the manager, gave me the original price and knocked off another 25 bucks. Better than nothing I guess

[@abdielmartinez6964]

@@peter12246 nice dude! The first time I saw the bass, I feel in love with it. Still saving up for it

[@peter12246]

Abdiel Martinez Hope you get one soon! Drop a comment when you do! Cheers!

I hope one day I can afford this bass! my absolute dream bass!

That's your dream bass? Damn

[@wulliemccreadie1591]

[@purplehaze5078]

I have this bass with Aguilar HC pickup and Hipshot Kickass bridge and US made wirings. It’s tone heaven!! Cool looking Jazz bass!

[@IDontTalkToCops]

Love mine in dolphin grey. Sounds and plays awesome and in my opinion the nicest looking bass going around.

[@TheMlvswoll]

Dolphin grey new model looks sweet. Wish they had a pj option as the new one is j pickups only. It also has a 12in neck radius v. The 9.5 radius on this one.

[@thomasfields2082]

super cool bass got aone 2 months ago. think short scale feel with jazz bass neck. its not jamerson but loves to go fast and get dirty.

[@malcolmh5736]

I got one.. love it. I actually wish it had fret markers, only for stage and quick reference. The metal is gunmetal which is nice aesthetics. I changed my pickups with EMGs.

[@BlountForce]

Me too, about the fret markers.

[@Gerry926]

I actually just came for the groove....I was not disappointed!

[@avega2792]

I’m getting this for my next birthday!

[@thebionicbassplayer]

Great playing, I have a Fender Rumble 100 and I now see the possibilities with the Aerodyne bass.

[@jakefoxx7978]

A Jazz bass with PJ pickups. That's a PJ I'd actually get because I prefer the Jazz body look.

[@TheBigMrJGC]

I got on my computer to work just to see this when I open. Guess I'm getting nothing done for the next 12 minutes

[@Unmarked_1]

I bought one and love it

[@danielhansen6991]

Love this Bass, up graded mine with Hip Shot Drop D tuner, Badass Bridge ll, Geezer Butler Pickups, switched out the smoked chrome for regular Chrome, as the smoked chrome fades with use, replaced the control knobs with some cool skulls, and it runs thru a Ampeg SVT Pro 4 with a 8/10 Ampeg Classic cab. Great sounding Bass, you won't be disappointed if you score one of these baby's.

[@avega2792]

How do the gb pick ups sound?

[@danielhansen6991]

avega2792 Amazing, you won't be disappointed

[@krishenning5923]

Lol you literally changed everything so it's a different bass now👎

[@stephenleslie9282]

Them grooves man are sweet, would there possibility, in future you could add a drum groove to see how the bass that your advertising will sit in groove

[@RoadKing-ky2bs]

Glad to see the beard coming back on Anthony! The last video I think most of us were "Who is this guy? He sounds like Anthony." Lol. Good to see you make it slowly back on.

[@timeforachange12]

Sounds very good.

[@manuelvallejo440]

Please make an analysis of the squier contemporary Active jazz bass

[@PhullyNo1]

Im always surprised at great these areodynes sound.

[@acidkat368]

omggggggg i’m convinced to get one

[@TheBigMrJGC]

I need to hear one with flats!

[@leopoldbluesky]

I use Fender flats on mine - sounds less clanky than rounds, but still has bite! I have the same strings on my MIM Jag and it's more thumpy and slightly duller on that bass, even though they are both PJs. Different pups makes the difference I presume.

[@feorwine]

tl;dr 10:15 "It sounds good, dude!" 'nuff said

[@22ddo]

Ha! My first good bass I had was a fretless 5 string Tobias Growler (1997) - still have it.

[@Brimocholas]

Holy shit, that tone!

[@MrSparks54]

Which do you like better, Aerodyne or Boxer? Thanks for the review.

[@ConfordConford]

Not considering price, would you recommend this over an american professional II p bass? I like the look of both of them but have to be careful of weighty guitars because of shoulder problems. I like playing a jazz bass but prefer a really nice low p bass tone (with the treble all the way off) that still cuts through nicely, like Pino Palladino on Voodoo. If anyone's tried both please let me know.

[@windogendoors7566]

I played both and I actually like the Aerodyne better. It has a faster neck and does have that low p bass kind of tone.

[@Judaspriestfan86]

I really debated this for a while. I sat in the music store and played this, an American Pro II and ended up with this one. The neck is most definitely faster and the overall feel is better.

[@TheMlvswoll]

Lighter body as well.

[@jacobhunter843]

I have one great bass feel good and sound good that's what you want!!!!

[@pabloguitar6360]

I have that bass love it. But it’s classified as a BJ bass. Aerodyne has an actual Jazz bass offering now.

[@lassel1644]

Lot´s of great playing and talking... and then finally the review. A killer bass..

[@klavedistinguida8127]

What would be better between the geedy lee MIJ or Aerodyne?

[@doctor_slap]

You are a very good player

[@timian.]

What kind of case do you need for it? Does it fit all snug in a normal jazz bass case? Or is there a special case for it?

[@TenFalconsMusic]

I purchased a Fender Deluxe Moulded case (£150) for mine and it fits perfectly. Apparently, they don't make many as I had to wait a couple of months to get mine. Well worth the wait though.

[@Masssshysteria]

i just got this.. i gotta say its pretty big though im around 5.9 and this thing looks like a knights shield on me lol

[@Ganesh.krish0212]

Thanks ! Damn helpful ..

$20 a side a paycheck and you’ll have it 1.5 years people. Surely no matter what your situation, you could spare $20 and forget about it each time you get paid until boom you have your $800-900

[@jasondorsey7110]

By that time Fender will either jack up the price or discontinue it lol

[@ferrybasman1969]

How come there is "american deluxe" on the headstock? It's a japanese made bass i thought.

[@coopertrooper8256]

It says Aerodyne J Bass on the front of the headstock not American Deluxe. It says Made in Japan on the back

[@tstreetzbeatz2239]

fiiiiiireeeeee

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Are they neck heavy basses?

[@rayramberg382]

I feel that for a lighter bass it is extremely well balanced. Usually run into that issue with a shorter upper horn or the lack thereof. love mine except for its ability to attract fingerprints

[@MrFacio85]

Finally more 🅱️ass videos 😎

[@ChipsA17]

Honestly its a beautiful guitar but doesn't have enough meat behind the sound for me. My stingray is just so punchy and good

[@residenteuph]

i adore stingray basses so much. i’ve always thought precision basses sound good with slap, but wished it had more bite like a jazz bass. stingray does that

[@musenw8834]

To be honest the split coil pickups are more like single coil than humbucker. Music man's a whole different ball game

[@ChipsA17]

@@residenteuph exactly. But I would like to have a fender jazz because why not lol

[@ChipsA17]

@@musenw8834 true. I do need a fender jazz as every bass player should have at least one lol.

[@TheMlvswoll]

I love the Stingray tone as well. Bought a Sterling Ray 34 to accommodate the budget. Love everything about it but it’s up for sale as it’s 9.9lbs and I have a low disc issue and I need a little less weight. Wish I could afford an EBMM US model as they tend to be lighter.

[@babyscream]

Is this one a regular long scale size?

[@firemarshal2629]

34”

[@TheMlvswoll]

Yes. The MIJ aerodyne with the chrome control plate and pickguard was the first aerodyne I believe and it was a 32” scale If memory serves.

[@DeadPool-qj9np]

Seems like it will get fingerprint marks easily

[@teenagethumb4135]

would this be a passive bass?

[@peter12246]

Yes

[@musenw8834]

Yes. Three knobs on a (precision) jazz bass is passive; four or more is active

[@timothybedwards5440]

They also make a p shape which I prefer

[@r3b0rn80]

Never saw the "Precision Body" shape you do mention in that line up (in Europe)... Is this a new addition ?

[@backburnernoise]

Arnaud Wassenne it’s Japanese. They also have an all jazz configuration. Suuuuper dope. If you look on eBay you can find some still in Japan. So they have 1) this version: Jazz body with p/j configuration 2) precision body with p/j configuration and 3) Jazz body with Jazz configuration.

Shame you cannot get the black PJ original version anymore...only P or Jazz..no PJ...stupid Fender...thats why we liked it, the slim bound body & arched top with PJ pickups....there just Jazz & Precisions now, what person thought..."let's drop the PJ even if it was the original Aerodyne...let Japan make them again, they make them better with nicer colours & matching headstocks.....these are not real Aerodynes in my book,the black one your playing is what most people think of when an Aerodyne not just a P pickup or 2 Jazz coils...shame...i luvved the grey & candy apple red Japanese semi sparkled Areodyne PJ's....

[@EmpireMusicPgh]

Things change... the classic aerodyne had a great run. I cam almost guarantee you'll see re-issues pop up from time to time (I say that without any insider info). I always liked that style too. Thanks for watching - Anthony
