AndyTravis Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Spotted locally, so took a chance...Aria Pro 2 Steve Bailey series 4 string. Looks lovely, feels great - seems to be in that all important sub 9lbs region. Aria pickups, vol/tone and a pickup selector. 24 frets...ash body. Very good/excellent condition. needs a setup and clean and new strings. I’ve got zero time this next week or so to do anything about it’s current state. Absolutely no need for another bass, always fancied one though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Tip top access to the dusty end too. Enjoy Andy (when you get the time to 👍). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs a bit of tweaking too...not sure it’ll compete with blue miller 😏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Well...I couldn’t find this model specifically online...passive... Maybe I have the answer why...may be a pre production prototype... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Just made a little rosewood shim for under the body end of the neck. The bridge is a typical “high mass” jobbie seen on 90’s eastern made basses, so I couldn’t get the action really low - I’m so lazy. it plays brilliantly now, and I did a little test recording with it, sounds great. So, need to get some fresher strings on it and it’ll be put into use on Thursday when we audition singers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
