I don’t get the whole brass nut thing, but it does happen.

Warwick uses them on all MIG’s. Same tonal properties as a Zero Fret. Makes sense to me

Pretty cool custom Warwick! Bit too much for me

I suppose that’s valid. I’ve heard of players swapping them out for bone or Tusq nuts, though.
Zero frets are just frets, after all, so standard fret material would be the equivalent. Whatever floats boats, I suppose.

It has such a lovely tone in passive mode, my wife reaction was ‘ooohh I like the sound of that one’. It needs a setup, pretty bad fret buzz… I could do it myself but will just take it back to the shop where she bought it and they can do it.

It really is a great bass. Deep and rich humbucker tone, looks fantastic, and is very light. Great neck too.

Fender ‘60 pickups in with my usual boomers. Love the sound.
Cleaned up the walnut Aerodyne, lots of rusty screws. Other than that just mint. Dialed in fine.
Three pickguard screw heads snapped, luckily the metal was so rusted underneath a small drill bit took care of that. Two screw heads on the bridge screws snapped, seems to hold fine with 3 (that’s a tougher job to get those out and homes fixed.

@John_E Are you going with flays and vintagy tone or round and modern snappy one?
My initial thoughts on this build before it was “taken” was John East Jazz retro and white Delano. Super delicious!

Rounds.
I’ve got flats with these pickups on the Squire bass.
Now I’ve got both!
I really do like these pickups. Fralins and these are neck and neck to me at the moment.
PS - you can have any bass you want, as long as I don’t want it

I was going to ask what you thought about this one but on the other hand I asked myself "what if he likes it? ha ha ha, ouch! Dunno why I even thought for a second that you’d missed this.

The Fender’s CS 60’s are good pickups, I was surprised.

Did you see this…?
I thought I sent you an link but could be wrong.
Pristine but price reflects.
If I saw this before the one I bought I would have went for it.
BTW, these dudes have good stuff!

It’s great, but very odd.
The other two Aerodyne J basses have a ‘thicker’ yet still thin Aerodyne body.
The PJs have a thinner one.
This J bass has the thin PJ body vs. the thicker.
However, the body is shaped like the other J basses.
Weird.
The pickguard is original for sure but has holes for a cover, however, none drilled in the top.
Almost like they were at the end of the run and just started grabbing parts.

Yeah I did. I kinda stay away from stores that sells a lot of $10k+ instruments, it makes for bargaining for $1500 instrument less fun for them, lol.

One nice thing about them though is you can walk in and high quality midrange instruments are their loss leaders

There was shop called the bass company, it was on the other side of the 101 freeway from Universal studio Hollywood, they have really high end stuffs. As a young person it was intimidating browsing in that shop. Lol.
