Aria 618/5 Electric Jazz Bass plus gig bag £250 Aylesbury

[Bass Wielder]

*READY TO GIG*
*CAN DELIVER WITH A REASONABLE DISTANCE FROM AYLESBURY EN ROUTE TO WORK*

Bought this last year as a temporary until I got my new ACG bass. 
I got the new bass but still held on to the Aria as a back up and a travel instrument. I also now have an travel bass🫣 So something must give……..
Now it’s time for someone else to put this to playing duties and enjoy😊 
Still in very good condition (look at the pics…only one obvious blemish)

Now with professional mods read below.👇 
 
Description:
*It was a passive bass but I was missing my East UK. active uni-preamp sound and flexibility so I decided to upgrade the electronics and so added an East mid stack and Bass/Treble stack. Quality!!
*I also changed the tuners to the better Schallers for more stable tuning. Quality!!
*Better quality & longer string tree/post added to cover all the strings. 
*Shielded the cavity to make it more resistant to hum/buzz.
*Japanese high mass brass bridge replaced the lighter original. This tightened up the high end, notably the slap sound (especially with the active electronics). Quality!!

* New Overwater brand strings!
*A decent gig bag is also included in the sale.
So now it owes me a bit more than the asking price, which I will not cover but at least get close hopefully.
 
Really good sounding, plays easily, looks great and can be used in most situations!
 
**Collection from Aylesbury unless the buyer willing to cover courier arrangement/cost.**
I’m willing to deliver if it coincides with a gig journey or otherwise reasonable.
Ask away for any further information…..

This is the bargain of bargains. Fully loaded and frankly, they have got the aesthetic just right.

Insane bargain! I'll bet this is a fine bass - the upgrades alone are worth a few quid! If I was looking for a long-scale fiver I'd bite your arm off.
