zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "I'm In Love With My Aerodyne J-Bass!!!"

Sound: The sound is unbelievable - even in a home/practice setting. The instrument seems to respond to me individually, almost as if it were made exclusively for me. On CD recordings it is unmatched. I am currently using my Aerodyne J-Bass with an SWR 2x10 Workingman combo amp, often used along with a small but effective DigiTech BP50 modeling bass processor. What I am getting is something hauntingly similar to the sound of a Mesa/Boogie 400+ or thereabouts. Don't have any tips as of yet to make the product sound better - I am quite satisfied with it. Feature: I was very fortunate in that the deal from which I purchased my Aerodune J-Bass threw in a nice Fender case with it. I absolutely love the combination and configuration of the pickups on this beauty! What a sound, and what a choice of sounds even with the simplest of amplification and no additional effects. Quality: The product is top of the line in quality of construction. Yes, the finish is a pain because of fingerprints, but it causes me to be more meticulous about keeping it clean. It is dependable and sturdy. I have another bass (a nice Peavy Millenium which I learned on)but I don't consider that one for "just in case". I believe the Aerodyne to be mine for a lifetime, barring any unforseen catastrophe. Value: The price was very fair. Manufacturer Support: I have not needed any support from the company. We have a Fender dealer nearby who is reputable and dependable should I need service. The Wow Factor: I HAVE IT - and it's initial appearance is what hooked me! This bass is drop-dead gorgeous! But even more awesome was the sound from it, just as beautiful as this fabulous, hefty, gutsy bass. Overall: I don't expect to be looking for another bass. I may be in the market for a better amp someday, but am satisfied at present. If something horrific happened to this bass, I would not hesitate to rush right out and replace it with THE EXACT SAME ONE. I appreciate the ease of handling more than anything.

"The last bass you'll ever need to buy"

Sound: Very versatile with the P/J pups, can dial in just about any sound - I gave it a 9 because it's not quite a 10 on the p-bass sound and not quite a 10 on the j-bass sound but it's awefully damn close - the blended thunder+punch is very nice. Feature: Only 2 negatives, (1) doesn't come with a case and (2) the bridge is only so-so. Even so, I still love it. Ease of Use: It's a J-bass, I like the narrow neck (1.5" at the nut) - easier to play than my original '62 precision Quality: Fit and finish are excellent, Fender Japan has really upped the ante on quality - it's a beautiful guitar Value: better than basses 2x and 3x the price, best value I've found on a new bass - that's why I bought it. Manufacturer Support: no opinion, haven't had to use it The Wow Factor: This is one sexy bass - kudos to Fender and the design team that came up with it Overall: My '62 p-bass will sit on the stand most of the time now

Style of Music: Rock / Blues / Alternative
