Pea Turgh Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 And there’s a good reason not to drink and Dremel! No idea sorry! Other than someone’s done a right number on it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Looks like a white bitsa that someone’s coloured in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Generic formerly-white PJ bass that someone has attacked with power tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 And not just power tools, guys. I rather suspect that a soldering iron has been used at some point ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Go easy, the OP is thinking of buying it so presumably likes it. Do you have any more pictures of it, especially how the (extra?) knobs have been fitted and what price is he asking? As said above, it looks to be a generic P/J that someone's modified and dependant on price, you could possibly spend your money more wisely. But if it's cheap enough and you like it then go for it. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More pictures of this bass would be useful 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hard to tell what it is after the modifications that have been done to it. I agree it looks like a generic, affordable PJ bass but there are some things that set it off from other offerings: the straight knob alignment (if original); the entire neck appears to be finished in the same color as the body; also, it's hard to tell the body shape from this angle because the edges have been sanded to a different shape, but I think it looks like an Aria Maybe a modified Aria STB-PJ. It's a PJ bass that was available in white, matches the wide distance between the pickups, and the alignment of the control knobs (but the advertised bass has a switch where the upper knob would have been, and an extra control knob above that). So yes, more pictures from different angles would be helpful 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Aria STB series have the trussrod adjustment at the nut end, so that rules that one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
