The Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass is an electric bass guitar created by Fender and was introduced to the US market in late 2004. The Aerodyne Jazz Bass is usually equipped with a split single-coil 'p-bass' pickup at the mid position and a single-coil pickup from a Jazz Bass at the bridge position. A Japan 'not-for-export' model also comes in a 'standard jazz bass' configuration (with two jazz pickups). In both cases, the bass is fitted with one volume knob per pickup, plus a master tone knob.

  • The Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass is an electric bass guitar created by Fender and was introduced to the US market in late 2004. The Aerodyne Jazz Bass is usually equipped with a split single-coil 'p-bass' pickup at the mid position and a single-coil pickup from a Jazz Bass at the bridge position. A Japan 'not-for-export' model also comes in a 'standard jazz bass' configuration (with two jazz pickups). In both cases, the bass is fitted with one volume knob per pickup, plus a master tone knob. The body outline is shaped like the Jazz Bass, though substantially lighter (the Aerodyne Jazz Bass weighs about 7 pounds, compared to the 10 pounds of the standard Jazz Bass). It's also slightly thinner than a traditional Jazz Bass body, due to its unusual 39 inch top radius (common to many instruments in the Aerodyne series). The radius of the top means that the bridge is actually inset slightly into the top of the body. The Aerodyne Jazz Bass has a standard 1.5 inch nut width, a very slim "C" shaped neck and 20 medium jumbo frets. The Aerodyne Jazz Bass has various cosmetic features that differ greatly from similar Fender basses. The 'USA version' (actually crafted in Japan) is only available in black, with a matching black headstock facing. It has smoked chrome hardware, and no pickguard. This makes the bass notoriously vulnerable to fingerprints. The neck features dot inlays, but only on the side; the fretboard has no markers on the front. There is cream binding that goes around the front perimeter of the body and newer instruments have a Stratocaster output jack (the earliest instruments have the quarter-inch jack mounted directly in the wood on top of the body).
