Hey dude! I love your basses and playing man! so I'm gonna need your help here. I might get a fender jazz bass, (in Argentina those are quite expensive) I have two choices in used condition : MIJ standard 1996 jazz bass for $950 OR an American Standard 1998 for $1400, what should I do? Is the Japanese made in the 90's an appealing bass? any reference about it? any help would be so much appreciated! thanks for your time bye!

Hey Arcellus,
Quick shout out to thank you for your awesome posts.
Wanted to ask few things:
1) What do you think of the Fender Aerodyne?
2) How do you like Jeff Berlin and would you maybe do any play-alongs? Something from Bruford One of a Kind, maybe Joe Frazer or Travels with myself and somebody.

Really love your focus on classic funk / jazz though

peace
