El Bumpo!

This is the fourth one for sale on here in a fortnight! Is there something we should know!? ;-) Funny you should mention the colour as I have contacted Laklands to ask why the natural finish and black are not more readily available over here, they intend to release other colours in the near future seems strange they haven't thought about this before, the Duck Dunn for example is available in 9 colours!? Good luck with the sale, after one myself but too soon after buying Giblett123s Overwater - her indoors would cut them off!

This bass still available? [quote name='Paul S' post='591291' date='Sep 6 2009, 11:38 AM']Oh dear. How would you post this? I'd need to shift one of mine to accommodate it, not necessarily beforehand, but it is everything I have been gassing for.... black/black/maple pbass with jazz neck.... Edit - PM sent...[/quote]

[quote name='bassatnight' post='590475' date='Sep 5 2009, 10:53 AM']Following a recent purchase I need to do some recouping of funds to keep her indoors happy. I have a 1980/81 top of the range Aria SB1000, I'll stick some pics up later but its in very good condition for an instrument of some years only a couple of superfical marks all original parts including the original Aria case (which is ok but could do with some attention to the latches. I will be sad to see this go having been a bit of a John Taylor nut in my teens (I was young!) but my pending purchases require I give serious thought to a clear out! I'll take some good quality pics and highlight the surface marks etc. It has the older bat wing head which in my opinion is much better than the latter version, I'll take it for a set-up before sale but it sounds as good today as it did in 1982 when I was playing Rio on it and the like! (I did say I was young!!) I did buy another one a few years back so I won't be totally without... Offers? Ps. Please ignore the 80's vinyl colletion in the background! I'd like to say that they are the wife's but......[/quote]

Bumpsville - Pics up today.

Hey nice bass, I am sure this will go very quickly! Iron Maiden were the first band I saw live back in 80/81 (god I am old) I used to have the hair to match! Ah sweet memories! I guess your after the Fender Steve Harris P now ;-) I played one a few days back and its perfect! Good luck with the sale!

As a bit of an Aria SB nerd I have always believed that Gold finish on the tuners is Elite only. Mike's right, apart from the gold hardware they are the same bass. I might have to sell my SB1000 have you seen how much they go for these days!

Bizarrely, when I bought the Aria, the seller said it was an Elite II but when I ran it past some Aria fans who know their stuff, I was told it was an R-80 although I think I've read somewhere that the two models are virtually the same instrument.....weird! All the best mate. Mike[/quote]

Bugger, I was just about to make an offer! that will teach me to dither!!!
