charic Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 [quote]Q: Hi Mark, I've heard these arias are great guitars but the neck profile is more like a p bass than a j. Would you agree or I have I been misinformed? Thanks Steve 20-Sep-12 [/quote] [quote] A: Hello Steve, Right now I have a couple of Jazz basses but no P-basses to compare it with; certainly the neck is slightly wider from E to E (not ear to ear!) than the Squier Jazz bass I have as well. Some hardware such as the bridge assembly on the Aria, seems rather more well finished than the one on the Squier, but both instruments are superb in their own way and I think as good as Fenders. The Squier I have is Korean and I think the Aria (no label I remember) is as well... or might be MIJ? Happy hunting, Mark.................. [/quote] E to E?

gemdids Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Bad wires?? And why does he always have to pose with the guitars? What possible benefit or adding selling point is seeing a fat man holding it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibody Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 he outbid me on a Japcrap bass a while ago. Then promptly destroyed the truss rod with his expert "Guitar Improving" skills and tried to sell the neck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
