The original run back in the early 00's was all black, IIRC. They've released them in other colours since. There was even a red Aerodyne Strat with a flamed maple top.

I know they had guitars, too back in the 00s. Did the reissues feature guitars too, or just basses?

A quick search on the ol' interwebz says you can currently get AD Strats and Teles in baby blue, grey, white and red, by the looks of it.

I would totally dig a baby blue or red one. These are among some of my favorite Fender designs.

Only thing is the bone white pickup cover doesn't really match the cream binding and my OCD is telling me to swap out the pickup, so it will definitely happen eventually.

Can you not just change the pickup covers?

Sure, but if I'm going to be making a change, why not make it better?

Does the thinner body make it more neck heavy?

I haven't noticed a major issue with it. I use Couch vinyl straps and it doesn't seem to slip too much. If it's positioned right, it doesn't slip at all.

Great to know! I also dig Couch straps, too.

Noice! Love the color with maple board. Definitely add cream cover at the least.

I really like the color of the bass. I think parchment colored pickup covers would look really nice on it. Enjoy it!
