[quote name='EBS_freak' post='582159' date='Aug 27 2009, 08:52 AM']Mr Mike B - I see one slipped through the net and has made it's way to you before going up to the Midlands... so... come on, some new pics [/quote] What do you mean 'before going up to the Midlands', it won't be going up there, not in my lifetime anyway.

[quote name='Dom in Somerset' post='543859' date='Jul 18 2009, 11:01 AM']I love depping! I like the challenge of learning all this new stuff at short notice, without all the politics of being "in" the band. Don't wory about the punters, or the full time band members, just concentrate on being better than their usual bass player! :brow:[/quote] You obviously don't rely on their bass player for much work then...?

No, it wasn't a Duran tribute....I would have needed an SB1000 for that, the Kubicki Factor is already in place obviously! Unfortunately, Duran tributes don't sell, nice idea but not financially a go-er. Mike

In that case it's a 1983 model. Mike

John, you have a PM. Agewise, I don't know if the serial number allows you date them but I remember John Taylor using one for an Italian TV show on the Sing Blue Silver video so that dates the R-80s to early 1984 at least so I would imagine this is an early-mid 80s model. If you can shed some light using the serial number, let me know. Cheers, Mike

[quote name='BarnacleBob' post='534220' date='Jul 6 2009, 10:19 PM']That is one fantastis bass - I had a SBR60 til a few months ago and I loved it, only sold it cos I have too many basses Doesnt look in that bad a condition to me at all either and that price it's a steal if all the electrics are working fine. Best of luck BB[/quote] Cheers, the electrics are all working fine, bearing in mind this is a passive bass. Everything works as it should. Mike

[attachment=28374:DSCF1367.JPG] [attachment=28370:Aria_Bod...Controls.jpg] [attachment=28373:DSCF1121.JPG] [attachment=28371:DSCF1139.JPG] Having bought this for a specific project that didn't get off the ground, it's about time I moved this on, hopefully to someone who can make good use of it. This is an original Aria SB-R80 although the tuners have been changed for a relatively new set of Wilkinsons, this was done before I bought it. The pickup screws were also replaced two years ago as the old ones were knackered and either missing or totally useless. Condition-wise, it's been passed from pillar to post as far as I could ascertain from the guy I bought it from and has the scars to prove it but it plays great for a bass of this age. The action is good and was restrung recently, I did a setup on it about 8 months ago and gave it a good spruce up. I considered having it resprayed a few years ago but those fine chaps at The Gallery advised me not to as Aria collectors like their basses as original as possible. It sustains very well but the Aria Super Basses always did! Looking for £250, gigbag included. Would prefer not to ship this so anyone in the London area is welcome to come and check it out or arrange a meet up in London if that suits. Alternatively, I travel all over the UK for gigs so may be able to meet somewhere convenient. Not looking for trades, just cash. PM me any questions. I have more pics if required and some close ups of the various battlescars. Cheers, Mike

I'm loving that Bahama Green one, always a great colour. There are definitely a few rare Kubicki colours, my coral pink Fender was one of 3 when I spoke to Phil in 1993 so I wonder if he ever did any more in that colour. Nice collection though, great stuff! Mike

Maybe give some halfwounds/groundwounds a try perhaps, sort of middle ground between rounds and flats. Mike

This is fairly green and mean, hadn't seen this thread before but for those who have a love of Trace gear, one of the originals..... [attachment=24390:TBass_Master2.jpg]
