The Aerodyne Special Series offers a contemporary take on classic Fender® designs. Distinctive aerodynamic lines, custom voiced pickups, state-of-the-art hardware, dazzling finishes, and unmistakable silhouettes combine to create instruments that are pure, purposeful, instantly familiar and radically new.
The Aerodyne Special Jazz Bass® features a sleek new look with vibrant colors adorning the elegantly bound basswood body and the matching headcap. A modern “C” shape satin finished neck with 12″ radius fingerboard ensures effortless playability, while newly designed vintage-voiced Jazz Bass pickups and a Babicz® Z-Series FCH-4 bridge deliver a perfect balance of high-performance and classic Fender tone.
The made-in-Japan Aerodyne Special Jazz Bass® inspires with futuristic style, premium appointments and exceptional tone. The bold and original designs that inspired generations live on in the Aerodyne Special series.
Basswood is a premium tonewood celebrated for its balance of clear highs, powerful midrange and warm lows. The body’s sleek “aerodynamic” contours add comfort and style.
The Modern “C” profile feels fast and smooth while the 12” radius makes speedy runs effortless. An elegant matching painted headstock complements each unique finish. The new Aerodyne Special pickups are designed to provide each model with full, articulate Fender tone. Babicz Full-Contact Hardware bridges offer more contact between the strings, the saddles and the body of the instrument for increased sustain and resonance.
