Had a fiver Ken Lawrence, certainly the best fiver fretted bass I've ever owned. Flavius is a great guy to deal with. GLWYS.

Hi Giovanni. Let's talk in PM. I'm on the opposite side, near Luxembourg, but driving to Brussels would would be like looping the loop as I met Russ there to get this Aries.

And I had the same 3 Aries 6 strings basses. Funny, no ?

Yes, Russ, this is the one that started all our countless deals... But before being yours, it was belonging to @gioby1 the original owner.

Non-smoking environment, as usual. The Šabić brothers, at the origin of the brand, are, for one, classical luthier and, for the other, electronics engineer. They manufacture instruments of excellent craftsmanship and with handpicked electronic components. Unfortunately, they stopped the production of their always unique and hand-made instruments to work for a brand-name Custom Shop three years ago ... This is, therefore, a unique instrument made to measure for an Italian bassist and I am the third owner. It is an ultra-versatile and super rare bass. The new price in 2009 was around 4.500 Euros… The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has two new batteries and has been fitted with a brand new set of LaBella Super Steps SS45CB strings (29 - 45 - 65 - 85 - 105 - 128).

Look at the pictures taken under different lights to see the real condition : some few marks, especially close to the bottom strap pin and the usual light scratches, but nothing serious at all. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

4 or 5 five strings, Chris ?

Used to be mine (of course, would some say). A, now, very rare bass as only 20 were made as 6 strings basses... GLWYS.

He is in Paris.
