Great Feel, Great Sound
I spotted this at the store and couldn't stop staring, the finish is devilishly gorgeous. I hoooked it up to every bass amp that was there, ranging from an Ampeg combo with a 15 inch speaker to a Gallien Krueger combo with two 10 inch speakers. Through every amp, it sounded great; I couldn't get a bad sound out of it. I messed with the tone and pickup volume knobs a lot and I could only get good sounds; the P/J pick-up combination is great. The neck felt very slim and fast, the body was light and well balanced, and like I said, it was a gorgeous bass. At not too high of a price, I am definitely going to add this to my collection soon. One last note: there is a little removable plate on the back that seems to be made for batteries, but the electronics are not active. I was just a tad confused about this, but it has no effect on the greatness of this bass.

Aerodyne Bass Rules!!!
This bass guitar is so cool. It's extremely light for a Fender bass, the black color of the instrument is awesome, and the tone of the Aerodyne J-Bass is great!!!This bass is best suited for rock,heavy metal,and just about any other kinds of rock music.This bass is awesome and will be the next bass I add to my arsenal.

An Awesome Bass for the Price
I had always been skeptical of Fender since I started playing bass. The weight of them had always been a turn off, playing a heavy bass with a bad shoulder was something I had to consider. Then I saw this beauty in Guitar Center and I had to try it.
My first reaction was surprise at how light it was. After I pluged it in I was blown away at how deep it sounded, definatly not what I would have thought from such a light bass. After playing on it I knew I had to take it home.
The neck is smooth and fast. The pickups give a decent amount of tone choice and playing it through my ampeg setup it was the best sound that had ever come out of my garage. Later it was put to the test in a full rehersal and it blew everyone else away. I use many effects (chorus, distortion, wah) and they really shined and the bass came through sweetly. When taken to a gig it was always nice to have people come up afterwards and compliment on the bass.
Cons:
The finish is a pain to keep clean, but worth the effort
The bridge shoud be replaced with something like a BadassII, the stock bridge is cheap and can cut your strings
Pros:
Great selection of Tone
Great Value
Nice neck
Light weight

Fender Aerodyne, a very cool bass
The aerodyne is a very nice working bass -- the P/J format gives lots of versatility, while the J-bass neck is smooth and fatigue-free for long-nights of gigging. I've been playing my Aerodyne live every weekend for the last year or so, and it does great. I replaced the jazz-pickup with an Aero Instruments J-bass 4, the stock one was really weak at top-volume. The Precsion-style neck pickup is meaty and drives the bass when I wnat it. My only nit to pick is the chrome-stuff they treated teh bridge and tuners with, it haws started to rubb off. I use this bass hard, slap, funk, classic rock, and it stands up. Great value and it looks lreally cool on stage.

Best Bass I have Ever Played
I have done considerable amounts of research trying to find the best bass for me, and I play nearly everything. I've tried everything from the Fender P-Bass to the Schecter Stiletto. Then I stumbled upon this guy. The Fender Aerodyne caught my eye with its sexy blue Maplewood body & matching headstock. Alright, now this bass looks good but it sounds even better. With the jazz and precision bass pickups you can pretty much get any tone you want for any style you play. You can slap & pop with the great jazz tone and then you can tune down to C and get a brutal metal tone. If you want a bass that can do anything, and can do it well, I highly recommend saving the money up and getting this bad boy. You won't be disappointed.

Best. Bass. EVER!!!!
I own a 1996 Fender P-Bass Deluxe, and i've played almost every other brand of bass. This is by far the best bass i've ever played. It blows every other bass completely out of the water by a long shot. In played every other bass at my local Guitar Center, and the only thing that came close (and it was still a LOOOONG way away from matching this bass's epicness)was a Schecter Stiletto costing three times as much. My advice: buy this bass right now. It's totally worth every thin dime you spend on it.

A Ricky Player Digs This Bass
I have played a 1978 Rickenbacker 4001 for most of the 26 years I have played the bass because tone and looks are everything and there's nothing like a classic Ricky. So when the day came when I had to sell her due to some financial hardships, I didn't think anything else was going to matter much. Never cared for Fender basses either since my first bass which wasn't an actual Fender J bass but was an exact copy of it. The P bass is pretty basic, no upper range, sounding while J basses all seemed to lack the bottom end. Then I saw this baby.
First off, the jet black finish with cream binding and zero fret markers caught my eye immediately. Then came a trial run. I could get the bottom end of a P bass and blend it with the crispness of the J bass single coil. Loved it the first minute I played it even though it needed some attention from a setup guy. Unfortunately I couldn't buy it new because of price but scraped up enough to buy one almost new for less. Mine is the original style with the jack in the usual place just below the tone knob. It rocks. I can get everything I used to get from my beloved Rick and then some. I really love the feel of the neck too. This is one great bass. If you can get one, do so. You will not regret it one bit!

Great for Anything
Found this bass as my second. Much greater in every way to my starter bass and most basses owned by my local betters. The dual P and J pickups do a number on any sound your looking to achieve. I've used it to play similar style from Reel Big Fish to Victor Wooten.

The bass of all basses
I am an experianced player and i know what i am talking about. Look, this bass, everything about it is good. It's light, deep rich sound, and beautiful high rich quality as well. Everything you ever wanted in a jazz and more. If your the kinda guy that loves to solo, slap, or just dig in a good background groove, maybe hit a couple of chords (isn't that everything!?!) and want all of it to sound good, buy this bass, you won't regreat it.

AMAZING BASS!!!
This bass is by far one of the best basses ive played (only ones that were better were the Geddy Lee J Bass and a Music Man StingRay). The neck is effertless to play and the body is very comfortable. The only complaints i have with this bass are the bridge, the finish in the tuners ect., and the fact that theres no 5 string model. Fender could have put the BadAss II on instead of the cheep stock bridge and they could have put active Basslines or EMGs in for pickups, but the stock ones sound amazing. Overall, One of the best basses Fender makes!
