Ibby from It'ly:

Early 2388B bolt-neck, sparkly inlays, checked binding, sounds better than a real one because it's "not a simple copy". It says here.

It must have had the R word somewhere.

Is that the same one as Jon pointed out and was pulled? I wonder if it'll sneak past Mr. Hall this time? :)

Actually Rick seem to have been a bit lax recently as some auctions have run to the end even when they've mentioned the R word. Maybe they've just been busy with that redesign of their bridge. :rolleyes:

In the US, but here's a rather nice looking maple necked Aria. Shame about the non-matching tuner though. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-Pro-II-Aria-Pro-2-Black-Four-String-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ280331597185"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-Pro-II-Aria-Pro...emZ280331597185[/url]

Scroll down to the bottom of the page - now that's what you call tail lift! :)

I've found its missing tuner!

Shame it (the Aria) is in such a state - black with a maple board looks great. And that tail-lift - :)

God damn, wish I'd been at the car boot that just came from.

If anyone goes for this, I have a tuner to fit.

Here's an unusually-coloured Projectenbacker, in need of a pup and tunas. And possibly a gecko and an emu:

Very special, that one. :)

That 'Orrible 'Ondo looks not bad, too (definitely not a Shafty, there were no bolt-necks & the sticker's the Hondo model number) and unless it's a solid colour around the edges, looks to be made of proper wood rather than ply.

Very nice - this might get the collectors in a lather, if they ever see it; I've never seen that odd multi-dot fingerboard on an Ibanez before - in fact I've only ever seen it here:

[url="http://psyco.jp/greco/c003_08.html"]http://psyco.jp/greco/c003_08.html[/url]

Being a 1973 Japanese Greco catalogue. This seems to be the first catalogue the bass appears in, so this may be one of the earliest examples.
