\"Fender<\/p>\n

Fender set the standard with the Precision Bass in 1951, following it up the Jazz Bass in 1960. This week we\u2019re taking a look at a bass that sleekly blends the two icons: the Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass. The blacked out bass features a slender basswood body fitted with a P\/J pickup configuration. <\/p>\n

Contoured for comfort, the Aerodyne\u2019s top has cream binding to accent the all black body. It skips out on a pickguard and even has a black Stratocaster output jack for good measure. The bass\u2019s maple neck has a \u201cC\u201d profile and is topped by a 7.25\u2033-radius stained rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets and no inlays.<\/p>\n

The hardware, which includes a 4-saddle bridge and knurled dome knobs, is finished in smoked chrome. The Standard Single-Coil Jazz Bass and Standard Split Single-Coil Precision Bass pickups are matched to passive electronics with separate volume controls and a master tone knob. <\/p>\n
