3. Some bassists have disparaged basswood

claiming the lack of heft just didn't feel right or basswood is just too soft.
My neck and shoulders disagree. I love the thin body and lighter weight.

And the sound! I get more compliments and questions about how I'm getting such a nice tone even from those who don't care for my playing.

I was wondering about the thickness of the Aerodyne strat, how does it compare
to a standard? I've generally preferred rounded edges to binding for the ergonomic qualities.
Is there much difference in its' feel?

I've had my eye on a Epiphone Genesis for some time now. Shopping for a '79 edition but now I'm thinking I should get my hands on an Aerodyne strat before I commit.
