Electronics & Features

One of the standout aspects of the Aerodyne series is the combination of modern styling and classic Fender functionality. The carved flame maple top, cream binding, and matching headstock give this bass a much more upscale appearance than a standard Precision Bass, while the slimmer body contours help keep it comfortable and balanced.

The factory DiMarzio split-coil pickup provides a stronger, punchier output than a traditional vintage-style Precision Bass pickup while still retaining excellent clarity and Fender character. These Aerodyne basses are especially popular because they combine classic Fender tone with a faster, more modern overall feel.

The slimmer Jazz Bass-style nut width also makes the neck feel especially comfortable and easy to navigate.

Tone & Feel

This bass has the strong, punchy low end and focused midrange you want from a good Precision Bass, but with slightly more clarity and articulation thanks to the DiMarzio electronics and Aerodyne design.

It works beautifully for rock, punk, indie, pop, funk, and modern styles where you want classic Fender authority with a slightly more refined and versatile response.

The neck feels fast and comfortable in hand, and the carved Aerodyne body makes the bass especially ergonomic compared to a standard Precision Bass.
