dannybuoy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Just spotted this yesterday, think I might have to get one: [url="http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/ajb-v.html"]http://www.fenderjap...o.jp/ajb-v.html[/url] One thing that has annoyed me about Fender 5 strings is the 47mm nut width - this one is 42mm just like my Yamaha BB415. I've been looking for a nice black 5 string jazz with a narrower nut for ages and this fits the bill! Now to go about sourcing one - there's one on eBay ([url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Japan-5-Strings-Aerodyne-Jazz-Bass-AJB-V-/261096877843?pt=Guitar&hash=item3cca962f13#ht_5970wt_1037"]http://www.ebay.co.u...#ht_5970wt_1037[/url]), or there's alway Ishibashi... any other suppliers I should look into?

AndyTravis Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Fender would sell loads of these if they brought them into the UK. I've converted about 6 of the four stringers to BEAD tuning in the last year or so... But still, they want to sell mexi/us 5ers too I suppose...

Sean Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 The fingerboard is treated with creosote and the bound body cuts into the right underside of the forearm. Play before you buy, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they seem to have a very quiet e string on the 4 and require safe breaker dexterity to get an even volume and tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be my inabities showing through but just beware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassie Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I would imagine that B string will be quite floppy too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
