Aria Pro II IGB-STD five string, impressive!

[Alberto Rigoni]

Hello bass lovers!

I have to be honest.. it's not made in Japan but  I'm quite impressed by this ARIA Guitars Pro II IGB-STD 5. The price is ridiculous (400-450 USD, new). Lightweight, nice look, super comfortable neck, P/J pickup (proprietary) configuration, passive. Punchy tone, defined, I like it a lot! And I bet that with DR STRINGS Lo-Rider will be even better! Demo video coming soon!

Worth trying it!

Did Aria give you the bass for free if you did some advertising for them? Your post feels like a paid advert!

Nice to know you like it, and Im sure it is a nice bass, but I think it might be worth mentioning in any review of an aria product that you are a featured artist on the Aria page,

I think, unless someone is honest and mentions they are effectively paid to advertise, that these posts should be removed - certainly not in the BC spirit of things and frankly disappointing to see. 

 

Just for the view of Aria if they do see this - this has made me actively want to avoid Aria.

Definitely not in the spirit of BC, a place where we hope that everyone is honest and not out to scam anybody.

 

I just sold my Aria IGB68, I’m happy to say.

Well, luckily you also work for DR strings, so I guess they will be pretty easy for you to pick up!
