Greetings, A friend recently bought one of these bass's, and the bridge wasn't sitting right. On closer inspection, he found a piece of plastic had been placed underneath the bridge for some reason. Also,it appears the bridge screws have stripped out, any suggestions ? Could there be any long term problems ? Cheers, Paul.

All my bass's have fretFX,the older ones used AAA batteries the newer ones use CR's. Go for it mate,they're well handy and they come with a switch that gives you 2 options on how bright you want them. They're also pretty good on batteries. Heres a wee vid of them in action.......

Yeah,Doomsday for the deceiver is a great album. I think Jason wrote alot of the stuff to.

I thought it was o.k.,but I think he should maybe get a singer in and just do backing vocals.

Cheers Numpty, just downloaded guitar rig 5. Haven't had a chance to muck about with it yet,easy enough to use ?

I have one of these gizmo's knocking about and was wondering if it can be used for bass ? If yes.........what software do I need ? Cheers, Paul.

Well we done our first acoustic show,went pretty well.........here's a clip with the Aria 5 string in action. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl1XGKNwjyw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl1XGKNwjyw[/url]

Thanks troops,so i take it the plastic bridge comes out and I should file the bottom of it ? Cheers,this is all new to me so sorry if I sound daft

The neck looks straight. The rest of the necks great, real nice to play. But,up and past the 12th real strain. I think a wee bit of filing may be needed,the bridge is untouched. Any tips ?

The rest of the neck is great,just once you get past the 12th its really uncomfortable........,there are no grooves in the bridge (previous owner must have left it alone) so would filing a little groove help ? Also, can these plastic bridges be replaced ?(I see Ibanez supply there bass's with spars bridge pieces).

Got this bass,nice. But the action is really high past,say, the 12th fret. The truss rod is located in the sound hole, would a slight tweak of the truss help lower the action ? Sorry, no real experience with acoustics. [sharedmedia=core:attachments:118665]

Well, I got the Aria,nice bass,though they forgot the gigbag . Anyhoo,the actions a little high after the 12th fret, any suggestions on how to lower it a touch ? Also, I hear the machine heads are a bit naff(Gotoh style tuners) would these be suitable replacements ?

Well Aria purchased,just have to wait for delivery. From what I'm hearing they're decent enough bass's,only problems being the machine heads wearing out. Just out of interest,can you upgrade the electronics in these things ? [sharedmedia=core:attachments:118665]

Well,we have an acoustic gig coming up and I've toyed with the idea for a while. We're also talking about recording some acoustic stuff. Anyhoo, heres a wee vid of interest....... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzTC1uR-Wvw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzTC1uR-Wvw[/url]

Anybody played/owned an Aria AMB50 ? Found one online in my price range. Anygood ? Or hold on to my hard earned ?

Looks great. How's does she sound ? Play allright ?

Yeah the Ibanez ones look sweet,may have a look on ebay and see if I score one.

I've thought about getting one for a wee bit of a change, and don't wanna spend mega money on it. Anybody any experience with the likes of Ibanez,Dean,Aria....etc ? Whats decent and whats to be avoided ? Cheers.

Heres another one for yah. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4bRZc13-Xk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4bRZc13-Xk[/url]

Well,sometimes its fine,but when it goes wrong its horrible(an EVIL Nintendo as one guy described it). From Left to right-Boss octaver,Boss distortion,Boss synth,Boss chorus,Dunlop wah. All going into the effects loop on my Trace. Any tips on how to make it behave ? Theres nothing worse as when I go to use it and next thing its ''bbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwooooooooopppppppppddddeeeeeeeewwwwwwww''.
