Aeon p41499

The Aeon line of basses are made from Fender licensed parts assembled to my quality standards. To avoid confusion with my proprietary line, I’ve created a new line called “Aeon,” a name that evokes the timelessness of the originals created by Leo Fender.

While anyone can buy Fender-licensed parts and assemble them, mine are different. Among other things, I copper foil shield the pickup and electronics cavity, level the frets, roundover the fretboard edges, polish the frets, use threaded inserts and machine screws in leu of standard screws, route truss rod access and give it a complete set-up, all while installing quality parts and electronics that you would normally have to purchase and install in addition to your bass. In the end, you end up with a bass that you'd pay hundreds of dollars to a guitar tech to do all these things (in addition to the cost of the instrument). The value is in the details. While I still do not take orders for parts basses, I will make them periodically and offer them up for sale.

Here's what I do with my Aeon basses that make them different from a typical Fender Jazz Bass:
1. Threaded inserts for Neck Screws
2. Individual neck attachment bushings
3. Angled neck heal (no shims required)
4. Rounded fretboard edge
5. Rounded frets
6. Bone nut
7. Threaded inserts for pickups
8. Threaded inserts for pickguard
9. Nordstrand Hum-canceling Jazz Bass pickups
10. Volume, blend, tone configuration
11. Truss rod access channel
12. Copper foiled pickup cavities
13. Copper foiled electronics cavity
14. Hipshot "A" bridge
15. Hipshot Ultralite tuners
