Bass Players!?!?!?!?!?
Hey R&P, its been a loooooooooong, long time. I'm back, and I have a question for all you bass players out there. I have a bass which I am not particularly a fan of, and was looking to trade on Craigslist. So far, my two main offers which I have been considering are trading my bass (worth $999 new, though I paid about $700 thanks to a discount through family) for 2 Mexican made Fender P basses, one of which I will then sell to a friend who is in need of a bass. The other offer Im considering is trading my bass for a 1986 Fender Aerodyne J bass, complete with hard-shell case and all case candy, along with $150 to make up for some belt rash on the back of the bass. My question is, what should I do? In my shoes, which deal would you personally go with and why? Thanks old friends.
Sorry, I forgot to mention my bass is a Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass, its a really great bass I just cant get the tones I want from it. The 2 P basses are 2005 Standard precision basses, made in Mexico.
The J bass, according to the owner, was crafted in Japan in '86. The serial number checks out according to the Fender website, however, someone has told me that the Japanese models produced pre-2004 are low-quality and were never meant for release in America, Im not sure if this is true.

gotta go with the Aerodyne + 150. In the end, you are going to spend the money... so what matters most is, would you rather spend the next X number of years playing a Mexican P bass or an Aerodyne J bass.
I think you know the answer.
[edit: wikipedia says that the Aerodyne J base was not produced until 2004... so you might want to check the validity of the offer. Still if I had to choose between a Mexican P bass and a (American?) J bass... the J bass wins every time.]
