benebass Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Hi - another one of my basses up for grabs. This one's an Aria Pro II CSB-300 Cardinal bass that has been defretted. I bought it off here a while ago & since I've had it I had the board professionally re-radiused & set up. It's currently strung with Status halfwound / groundwound strings & plays really well. No major issues, although the pots are a little bit crackly. It comes with a hard case & the original guarantee card - it was bought in 1981 in San Francisco. I'm looking for £120 collected from Newcastle upon Tyne - might be able to sort out a postal deal on this one if you're interested...

andy67 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Hiya mate, Lovely bass. However, given the prices of real 80's basses, it may be worth gauging some opinion from the basschatters because you price seems rediculuosly low! Now I know its frowned upon to comment on price but I feel this is a positive comment in regards to what most likely is classic 'Jap crap'. Unfortunate term but is said lovingly. good luck andy Edited April 9, 2012 by andy67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benebass Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi Andy - it is a lovely bass & I'm sure it'll appreciate in time, but I have too many & they need to be played! Although it came out of the same factory as the SBs, the Cardinal isn't as sought after, so I've priced it to sell - you're right that it's a bargain to someone out there... Cheers, B.

Matt P Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 oooh! That's tempting, what's the scale length? And has it got a 1981 serial number? I'm really tempted. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
