I remember when these showed up at the store and all I could think of is why did Aria bother?

The roughness of the bass is matched by the lack of focus in the photos...but if someone liked it, the bass isn't past a refurb.

Last time I saw one of these, maybe 7-8 years ago, it was priced at something like $225. And that was for a working bass, not a project This could be refurbed but at $210 shipped I would suggest passing on it.

I had an old copy by Maya that was set neck.  Wish I still had it but made a nice profit. :)

Hi to all at LBO. :)

You don't see many of these, although there are a few around.

This one is mine and is practically mint.

Haven't played it for ages, so could be a good excuse to dig the old fella out! ;)


Cheers. :)
