gsm Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Hi all, Due to being unable to play for health reasons I am Sadly having to sell My collection of Bass guitars 4 IN TOTAL 1) I have a 1980 aria pro 2 sb1000 including original hard case in immaculate condition, 2) a 1977 aria jazz bass sunburst complete with original hard bodied case. With polished string mute and bridge covers it has white mop inlays and is passive immaculate conditon. 3) an 1982 Aria pro 2 sb400 custom short scale black with 2 cream pups passive good condition couple of small dings But not too bad and not through to bare wood or anything its hard to see them . 4)An Aria pro 2 laser electric classic Sb with active pups in a nice paduk red colour in excellent condition. with hard case. Also I have an ashdown electric blue 180 combo bass amp mint condition about 1 year old. If anyone is Intersested in the complete collection please let me know Due to postage and amount of items/ weight it would Be better if any potential buyer collects due to weight postage etc.. I know I have not put prices on any of the items but i have a rough idea of the least i would let them all go for. Regards.

GЯДИКФЯ Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 selling them as a group is going to limit your potential buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 i don't think he meant he wanted to sell them all as a group, he was just saying if someone was to buy the lot (unlikely), it would be easier for them to collect. Also pics and prices would help them sell faster, good luck. sorry about your health problems by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sorry to hear such a story gsm.. That's a fine collection by the way!! If you do decide to sell them seperately for any reason, then I'd be interested to know more about the short-scale Aria.. Otherwise, best of luck with your sale and more importantly, your health!

johnnylager Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sorry to hear you need to sell these mate. That SB-1000 is a fantastic bass, I wish I could relieve you of it! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I do think if you sell them separately you'll get a very positive response - there's a lot of interest in vintage 70s & 80s Japanese basses, and Matsumoku-made Arias like yours were pretty much top of the heap. I'd certainly like to know more about the Jazz copy (Aria copies are pretty unusual in the UK) and the SB400. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 That jazz is sexy, you should at least keep that and keep it on your wall Or pass it onto a son/daughter/grandson/daughter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgt-pluck Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) I agree with the above comments about splitting the collection. If you did, I'd be interested in the single-pup neck through so long as it's not short-scale - not sure what the model number is....

noelk27 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Didn't realise you were selling as a job-lot. As that's the case I'll need to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps. GSM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
