bythesea Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Anyone have experience of an Aria IGB 30? Looking at a short scale version of this, and think it would be better for my wife to mess about on than the Rockbass Corvette she's using at the moment.

Rowbee Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'll reply anyway. I had an IGB60 as my first proper bass and it was an excellent starter instrument that I occasionally pine for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one had a EMG P pup retro-fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Aw never mind, it was probably rubbish anyway. Honest. When I see the model designation 'IGB', I always read it as a word rhyming with 'Digby'. Is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPBass Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I had an IGB Spirit bass as a first bass. It was god awful, stick with the Rockbass IMHO you wont go far wrong with a Warwick. Japanese vs German design? The latter wins every time. Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col[/quote] If it was for me I would agree - but my wife is quite small and struggles with the scale length. That's the only reason for looking. Though I think my Cumbrian design OW is better than either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo63 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 How about this short scale Epiphone SG from GAK ? [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/469"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/469[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to take another trip down to GAK and try one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
