Fender Aerodyne Special Jazz Bass, Rosewood Fretboard, Chocolate Burst

Player's Perspective

We couldn't be more excited to be carrying the Fender Aerodyne series! All you Fender enthusiasts out there know that Fender Japan's offerings are all absolutely stellar and have been right up there with the American stuff for decades now. This gorgeous Aerodyne Special J-Bass is no exception.

This one's in a beautiful Chocolate Burst finish. The rosewood fingerboard contrasted with the matching headstock and contrasting binding make the bass look more "refined" than a usual J, and the lack of pickguard gives the body an awesome minimalist, vintage-modern look. The exclusive Aerodyne pickups are just the right blend of vintage tone with some contemporary edge and clarity. Give this one a try if you're interested in an amazing modern variant of the J-Bass that's veers a little off the beaten path in all the best ways!
