Thomas P Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) I am slimming down to 1 main bass, which very likely could be an Alembic Rogue 5 string. Long shot, but if you happen to have one and willing to take this Aries in a trade + money off course I'm interested. Otherwise, trade could be something for which there's always an interest and the possibility for a quick sale for me afterwards, like a Stingray 5, Jazz 5 etc. Up for sale my Aries Senses 5 string Single Cut bass. Aries instruments are unfortunately rather rare and no longer in production. The founder of the company, Arijan Sabic, closed his business some years ago and according to local sources in Croatia he moved to Germany to work as a luthier. A shame really, these instruments deserves to be recognized for the quality the possess. There is still a fan driven Facebook site with all the history https://www.facebook.com/AriesBassescom/ Mine for sale is a 35" 24 fret but feels like a normal 34" as the neck is set quite deep into the body yet with unlimited access all the way up. Mahogony body Padouk top Ebony venier Maple neck with ebony veniers Ziricote fretboard 2 x humbuckers, matching wooden cover, with split allowing for parallel, single coil and humbucker by means of the two switches 3 Band Pre-amp plus blend and with pull of volume for passive Hardware from ABM and Hipshot Weight around and not above 4 kg. Endless sustain and an ultra defined B string due to the design and 35" scale. This bass can sound exactly as you want from mumbled neck PU with mid and treble rolled off to powerfull full blast with both PU's in Humbucker, or Jaco on steroids with neck PU in parallel and bridge in Humbucker and balance towards rear. I got this bass in a trade earlier last year but are slimming down to the bare minimum hence for sale. This particular instrument has been traded on the German/Swiss bass site bassic.de for varios sums between 1650 and 2500€ If it had an american brand name on the headstock you'd be looking at the same price level as a Ken Lawrence who was the first I saw with an opening in the upper SC. I'm asking a very resonable 1650€/1350£ incl. a hard case. Shpping can be made for around 50€ within mainland Europe and 60£ UK (Brexit) Thomas P [email protected] WhatsApp and mobile: +4561209520 Edited February 26, 2022 by Thomas P spelling 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I've had 3 Aries Senes basses over the years, they are absolutely spectacular basses with incredible attention to detail. £1350 is a great price for such a bass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas P Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 Morning Malikos. I`m living in Denmark. I`ve shipped basses all over Europe throughout the last 10 years, so the difference in our locations shouldn`t be a problem from a buy/sell perspective. And as Binky-Bass very kindly confirmed by his refrence to owning 3 in the past, they are indeed very good instruments with nothing more to wish for. Pleasant day to all.
