For Sale Top of the shop US Fender Precision (Maybe trade for high end fretless?) She is in wonderful condition, no marks or scuffs to speak off, the only ‘man made’ blemish is the autograph that the previous owner obtained from the bass player with Aussie Floyd which resides on the back of the tuners (as pictured) I didn’t see the point in removing she comes with an upgraded Babicz bridge (original Fender bridge also included) all the usual Fender Candy and black leather Fender Strap, also comes with the original hard case. Currently strung with flats - Price includes shipping cost within the UK, UK only sale. I am saving for a high end fretless so if anyone with a fretless Wal wants to a part-ex do let me know 😉 Regards, Steve.

PMs replied to, please note as stated she is no longer active. Ta

Hi, Having a bit of a cull and next to go is my Fender Japan Marcus Miller Jazz. She is in lovely condition with wonderful Jazz tones and we all know the Japanese Fenders are as good as the US ones ;o) also comes with a nice flight case to keep her safe. Currently fitted with flats, but please note that the former owner removed the preamp so she is now passive, hence the lower price. Bass Direct still have the MM01 east preamp in stock and will fit for the cost of the preamp plus £50 should you want to turn her back to active. UK Sale only, can be picked up from me in Ely Cambridgeshire or happy to courier - assuming I can find a box ;o) Please also note that I am now advertising the bass elsewhere. Steve.

As of July 31st sold... With a heavy heart, I must move on my beautiful natural Aria SB1000, almost as new condition with no obvious marks or scuffs. Happy to send by courier, at cost to me. Apologies, but would prefer a UK sale having had a rather bad (and expensive) experience a couple of years back. Comes with a sturdy flight case. Currently being advertised on Ebay for £850 - so £50 off for fellow basschatters!

Thanks, guys, I'll give him a go.

Hi All, I am thinking of purchasing an Aria SB1000 from a seller that I have heard other bassists have had experiences with, from memory positive and negative. They are called the East Island Crew, my gut feeling is that they place ads on eBay then take an order for that item and subsequently go off and try to find a similar guitar that meets the specs they stated on the advertisement - am I wrong? Any experiences? Cheers, Steve.

It's not a massive purchase, and although never happy to lose out it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Thanks mate, it does seem to be a bit of a minefield.

Hi All, Does anyone have any experience with purchasing from the Chinese website DH Gate? I am thinking of making a purchase, but the web seems full of mixed views about the legitimacy of the site? Cheers, Steve.

I do like instruments from the land of the rising sun! The new Aria SB's just don't do it for me, not keen on the changes and the prices are ridiculous!

SOLD

Did I recently see this bass (and the SB900) on the Facebook Aria forum?
