spike Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Just got this on Friday, had to wait 6 weeks for it to arrive from Japan......

Muppet Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I've never seen on in white with black binding. I much prefer it over the black - very very sophisticated. Excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you liking the p/j arrangement Spike?[/quote] Still experimenting but so far I'm liking it. I was looking for a precision sound but I don't get on with the necks on P basses so I went for this, having the neck pickup almost full on on its own gives me the thump I'm after and then gradually rolling on the bridge pickup gets it back to sounding like a Jazz but with a fuller bottom end.

Ad[/quote] I actually bought it on Ebay. Theres an American seller on there called thomasldh who seems to specialise in Aerodynes. The bass came direct from Ishibashi in Japan, for more details about them see the sticky about importing guitars in the bass guitars section of this site. Another place worth looking at is www.guitaremporium.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saves all the worry and headache too. Got access to some lovely Jazzes on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
