Haven't seen it yet, but it has picqued my interest. I do have in my collection the Let It Be album with the glossy booklet that came out as a special edition at launch time. Quite collectable now, I'd guess. I got it from a pokey little record shop as a "might as well purchase".

Agreed. They certainly look nice. I've not come across the brand before.

I'm much the same. If I would try to analyse any preference it probably has a lot to do with "my first bass" experience and fond memories. Much the same as hankering for the sweets and chocholate that one had as a kid........kinda sticks in the subconcious (or on the sofa in the case of the chocholate).

NBD - Aerodyne Jazz Bass (I’m a terrible liar)

I keep seeing double. Should I get my eyes checked? -
NBD - Aerodyne Jazz Bass (I’m a terrible liar)

Not much more to add to the comments above. Hum from the bridge pup was the reason I swapped out the pup's to Dimarzio pj's. I have creme ones, which also look cool with DR Black Beauties. Otherwise, a nice light and resonant (basswood) body and super fast neck. The body dings up pretty fast and the black ones are fingerprint magnets! -

Gorgeous in all lighting situations, I'd say. Great acquisition!! Well done.

Great ending!! Gorgeous

No, but I have seen that Bacchus now specifies this bridge in their high-end instruments. Not sure who else endorses or uses it. I agree....it looks kinda weird.

If there is a slight weakness - and this might be a personal choice - check out the pickups. Some folks exchange MIJ/CIJ Fender pickups citing "thin" sound and/or hum. I've never found it a problem aside from an Aerodyne Jazz, which is a PJ configuration and hum from the bridge p.u. is expected. It might help you if negotiating a deal to check this out if you get chance to demo the instrument. Good luck.

I guess it would depend on the circumstances and which bass I had with me to lend. Some basses, yes; some basses, no. Although I might make a few exceptions if it were Pino or Macca doing the asking 😀

Every example I've owned or played has been consistently good.

The worst example I saw (and paid money to see, I might add) was at a concert of the band Widowmaker back in the mid 70's. Lead guitarist (Ariel Bender a.k.a. Luther Grosvenor) and Bob Daisley were having a right ding dong, which ended in one spitting in the face of the other. High on drugs, part of the act, who knows? It was awful. I remember that, but not very much of Bob Daisley's bass playing.

In true "Blue Peter" fashion - here's one prepared earlier.

There are a few coloured ones on ebay.........mostly from the far east. So no idea of quality, but assume poor. I have several DIY examples that I have spray painted (base + clear coat) using a Fender tug bar as the basis. I have to admit that they are more for asthetics than function, since I don't play with my thumb.
