Price drop **190** ! Upgraded Aria. - *SOLD* £275 Liverpool

[Craig Robinson]

For sale *NOW £190**

 

Not sure of the actual model or build region but it is an RSB shape. In very nice candy apple red with matching headstock. Single p pickup with a single volume and an active 3 band eq gives a pretty heafty output and a full range of tones. Bridge is an upgrade on the original and is a modern badass variant. 3 piece maple neck and nice dark rosewood board with 24 frets. Nut is 38mm width and spacing is 19mm at the bridge. The body has a very sculpted heel making the dusty end easily accessible. Finished off with through body stringing making a very classy bass.

 

There are some dings on the body which I have shown in the pictures but otherwise condition is very good. 

 

Any questions I'll try to answer best poss. 

 

Postage Included to UK 🇬🇧.

The headstock and truss rod cover suggests Matsumoku, so early 80s I woiuld guess but I coild be way wrong as some things are not typical form Matsumoku.  The P pup is ins a strange place.

Thanks for some insight 👍

Pickup position doesn't harm it any. probably due to the 3 band eq enabling it to produce most variants with relative ease.

Korean made, Samick factory in ‘02.

 

Definitely looks like an SB style bass, nice looking thing, I bet it sounds really good.

Yeah sounds great. Bit of an oddity but I do like a slightly left field bass. 

 

£175?.........

So they took some cues from the Japanese Arias made by Matsumoko. SamickI make some nice basses by the way.
