Pinball Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 AAh I saw this late last night but too late to phone then. I phoned this morning and snagged it as it was only 15 mins away. A bit tatty with rusty strings and a pot is noisy when turned up but it plays really nicely, great balance and sounds sweet. Someone scratched the name of so I post pictures for an ident when I get a chance. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinball Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Indeed it is. It isn't as tidy as the pic implies. It is filthy and more battered, some fret wear, a noisy pot, a bit of rust here and there but....... It plays well and sounds nice and will look better after a polish..£45 has to be a bargain. I'm either going to keep it to play in my lunch break or may give it to a friends son if he wants it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Can you make out the old logo on the headstock? It's certainly a Matsumoku made bass but Aria weren't the only ones to source their instruments from Mat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Nope, someone has done a good job of removing the logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 That's a bit of a shame, as without it you'll never ID the brand it was originally sold under. Not that it makes too much difference really - it's a Matsumoku made bass, which is a good thing. Congratulations on the buy, and the price!
