Aria Elecord FEB2 acoustic bass - any info?

[fretmeister]

My next door neighbour just bought one of these from a charity shop.

They are not on the Aria website anymore and the only one I can find on the web is one from a Reverb listing 11 years ago in the USA where it sold for £223.84 equivalent.

 

My neighbour bought it on a whim, doesn't really play but is now retired and thinking about doing something with his time.

 

The action is a bit high and it probably needs the bridge adjusting by a luthier so as to not ruin the pickup - it has a Fishman 3 band with a semi para mid range control.

 

If anyone knows anything about these, please let me know.

Sounds nice, F hole from the title?

 

Action, check the truss rod first,

Then check under the bridge blade, often a shim above or below the transducer piezo element. Easy do, Budget Adagio Flats?

 

Bit of Blah Blah, nut, bridge etc. on my Harley Benton - might help?
