| Q. | Fender Aerodyne Presicion Bass or the Fender 70's Jazz Bass? | Related Search: Other - Music | | |
Hi, i've been playing bass guitar for a year and a half now, and I've been looking into buying a new bass. I got my eyes set on the Fender '70s Jazz Bass and the Fender Aerodyne Classic Precision Bass. Styles of music that i do play are Metal, Alternative, Rock, Progressive, and Funk. Please make a suggestion bas(s)ed on which would better suit me and is the better quality bass.
| | A. | I've been a bass player for about 35 years and I've always used a Fender Precision. I've tried Fender Jazz basses but I've found them to be too heavy, a little unbalanced on stage and the neck too skinny at the top.
For your styles of music, I'd pick the Precision. Why? Because you can hammer nails with it all day and it will play (and sound) beautifully at night.
Just my opinion | | | |
| Q. | Is it better to buy bass guitar at Guitar center or musiciansfriend.com? | Related Search: Performing Arts | | | i want to buy a fender aerodyne 4 string jazz bass. even though they're the same price at both places, which one could have extra savings or deals??? like do some guitar center stores give extra things with a purchase? same with musiciansfriend? Or will there be a really big sale soon at either one of these (before thanksgiving if possible)
| | A. | Guitar Center and Musicians Friend is basically the same! Guitar Center owns Musicians Friend! (im a former employee of Guitar Center) Now.... if you want to do yourself a BIG favor.... dont purchase the bass at either place. Guitar Center employs no techs, and if you have to get something serviced, good luck Even under warranty, they will have YOU pay to get it shipped back to the manufacturer for any type of work. If a "local" music dealer has the same guitar, I would highly suggest purchasing it from them. If there are any issues with the set up of the guitar, it would be taken care of at the time of purchase, unlike Guitar Center. Guitar Center is geared for sales only... NO SERVICE!
Im going to enclose a link for the same guitar you are purchasing. Ive dealt with American Musical Supply for around 3 years now, have ordered both guitars and basses from them. Every guitar and bass ive ordered have arrived set up perfectly. I have had to raise string height just a touch on 2 of the basses I ordered.. but..they did arrive IN TUNE, and... calibrated perfectly. One big plus about this company... you can use your debit card.. they will debit your checking account once a month.. INTEREST FREE..for 3 months. Kind of like a pay as you play, and the minute they receive you billing information, the product is sent. On most purchases, ive ordered on a Wednesday before 4pm, and its arrived on Friday via ups. (I live in Michigan,they have a warehouse in New Jersey.) Instruments in this price range I have no problem ordering without playing. The quality control is much much higher than lets say your entry level 200 buck guitars.
Heres the link...

Nice looking bass... I just purchased the Jazz Fretless from them a few months ago.. no problems yet!
Hope this has helped, and good luck! Enjoy the bass! | | | |
| Q. | good 1st bass? | Related Search: Performing Arts | | | my 16th birthday just passed this past Tuesday and I recieved my first bass guitar, a Fender Aerodyne. Is this a good bass to start off with?
| | A. | Yes, its a fine bass. Don't listen to jealous posers. Fenders in general are good bass guitars. They are the original electric bass! Aerodynes are a bit lighter and a bit more modern in sound and feel from the old school Jazz Bass or F Bass.
Many, many people aren't as lucky to have something that nice to start out on. I started on a borrowed BC Rich lightning bolt....ugh! | | | |
| Q. | which bass should i get? | Related Search: Other - Music | | | im thinking of getting an aerodyne fender bass (jazz)
or a big block precision bass (fender)
which one should i get?
| | A. | Yo i play bass too and if you ask me out of them two id get the big block.
BUT i would rather an
American standard precision in 3 colour sunburst with a rosewood neck and a mother of pearl pickguard
or American standard precision with maple neck in olympic white with a mirror pickguard *drueling* Like Steve Harris's.
id probably want get new pickups too.....
but yea back to the subject. sorry haha
if its only between them id go with the precision but thats me
it really depends what kind of music your playing for more metal, rock stuff id go with the p bass
or more funky jass or blues go the j bass
just make sure its made in the us because ones made in mexico or japan are usually pretty bad quality | | | |

or
Fender Aerodyne 4-String Jazz Bass

or if you have any other suggestions i will gladly appreciate them
| | A. | Jazz bass tonal controls are going to offer more versatility and the body is a little more comfortable to me anyways. Its basically whatever your looking for. That particular p-bass is made in a vintage type of style. While the Aerodyne models are catering to people who want a modern type of feel. | | | |
