FlatEric Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) These have been brought to my attention and thought it worth sharing. The Kimbara: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322007308444?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l5999&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI322007308444.N36.S1.R1.TR15"]http://www.ebay.co.u....N36.S1.R1.TR15[/url] I have one of these and it is a really nice bass - well worth a punt! The Aria: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262294911966?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]http://www.ebay.co.u...K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT[/url] A really nice bass for pennies! I still have mine and it is one of the very few basses I have ever bought new, from a shop, with my own money!! Someone should grab this! Edit: Just read it again - the description for the controls is not right - should be Pan, Vol, Bass. Treble. Best to check.

Bassassin Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The Kimbara's gorgeous, Matsumoku build and coincidentally the same as the Aria-branded ones that were around at the same time. Interesting though - I do remember being faintly excited by these Aria SB reissues (or "re-ish-ues", maybe ) but the one I tried in my local shop was horribly set-up and played like a total plank. Just goes to show what difference it makes if a shop can be bothered to make sure an instrument's playable before putting it out. It did colour my opinion a little, I have to admit - although I've subsequently had several other recent Arias and been very pleasantly surprised by the quality. Jon.
