Have played this and can confirm, it is great.

A truly stupendous piece of kit. But unless I play it all the time I get disorientated when I go back to it. I tried, it was not to be. It is in top nick for a 35+ year old bass. One or two nicks, but you have to look. It went back to OW for maximum love. They plumbed a contemporary 3 band preamp in there and cnc'd some ebony to plumb the latest pickups into it. 36" scale, neck through and lush. You know that many of the West End pits have OWs in there? Super quiet, super accurate, super well voiced accross the range and super duper. I find that I can happily sit on the B and use it as I would the E on any other bass I own. It is that clear. Is it light? With that much maple? Nope. It is funny, if these were made in the US people would be laying eggs with excitement about them. It is the equal of anything else I have tried. And I have tried them all. I am just not the equal of it. And I am at peace with that. It is strung bottom F# to G. People say "you will not be able to hear it etc etc." "Too low etc". Wrong. But of course, you could just go low B to high C. I have heard that people dig that higher stuff (smh). Currently strung with fairly fresh Newtones with Payson low F#. I am fully aware that this is pretty niche. If it does not sell then it will not be a hardship to pick it up out of the rack now and again. There are worse problems to have. Trades? Dingwall D-Roc 5 turquoise glitter thang. Otherwise just cash. But thanks for thinking about it.

Glad to help.

I remember these from back in the day...used by respected bass players. What happened for Aria to stop being regarded as a quality bass builder? Oh, BTW...GLWTS

A.S.S. 12” custom Bass Speaker Cabinet. Loaded with Peavey 1201-8 12” Black Widow driver. The cabinet was handmade by cabinet manufacturer A.S.S. in their Southend factory in the late 1980s. They made the cabinets for the Who bassist John Entwistle as well as for Turbosound P.A.s and their own A.S.S. P.A. systems. The driver was re-coned about 14 years ago and then hardly used since. The re-cone was by Wembley Loudspeakers (the best) and I assume a bass cone was used. The cabinet is nearly cube shaped at 450x450x420mm. It is incredibly well built in heavy ply with black textured paint and is front ported (see the photos) with an extremely solid foam damped grille. There are some marks on the surface and it has runners on the underside rather than feet. Sound wise it exhibits a nice forward lo mid and mid range and a smooth top end, so not a hi-fi cabinet but sounds great with a four string P-Bass. The cabinet is chunky and weighs 25kg approximately.

20240426_210741.heicFirst version of this awesome pedal. A bit of light wear and tear on the casing but works perfectly. The foam tabs on the back were removed by a previous owner and does have some velcrow on the back (easily removed). Postage included in the price.
