I've owned three Aria basses in the past. An SB1000, fabulous playability and sound but ridiculously heavy, and two Aria pro11 6 string basses.
I regret moving on the SB simply as it would've been worth 5 times more now.
I regret moving on the two 6ers because they have both been the most comfortable 6 string basses I've ever owned and played. In addition, with a quick knob twiddle, sounded no worse than any of the Status and Spector 6ers I've owned.
No idea about the modern stuff though.
