LouieM Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) PRICE REDUCED TO £500 Can no longer ship This Aria is from 1981 and sounds fantastic. It has Rotosound 90-35 strings (just like cliff burton did) that are quite dead. The coil tap switch has been replaced because the old one was broken. All of the electronics work perfectly and sound amazing. There have been two holes filled near the controls (seen in pictures) but it doesn't affect anything and is not noticeable unless you're up close. There is also quite a deep dent near the bottom of the bass but, again, it is barely noticeable unless you're up close. There are also minor scratches around the bass that are a given for a 40 year old bass. It plays amazingly with great and low action. The g string has been raised a tiny bit as it was buzzing but i think this is just because of the change in gauge strings. Collection from Wokingham or i can travel out a bit, show me your offers or trades. Edited February 17, 2022 by LouieM sold elsewhere 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Yes, but this Basschat - unfortunately everybody wants a bargain, nobody wants to pay a fair price. Look at how much excellent gear hasn't sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how much excellent gear hasn't sold. I think the thing is that folks will think about buying something they didn't particularly want (or know they wanted!) if it's at a bargain price.
