Mykesbass Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) Just seen something I REALLY want, so another price reduction to see if this will go part fund the new BC acquisition. I have this lovely Aria, it's the discontinued 303/5, Korean built, bolt on, ash top on alder body. About 2003/4. Original retail £549. Great bass, great neck, but I'm a bit of a big girls blouse and found it got heavy towards the end of the night - it's not really heavy (think about 9lb (4.4Kg)), just didn't sit right with me balance wise. Small amount of "imperfections" - Battery compartment lid missing, 5 way selector only works in 4 positions, some strange buckle rash on the back which I have tried to illustrate, and a very small dink on the edge of the neck at 4th fret. Missed out on the Yamaha I had my heart set on, but now something else has really caught my eye. Cash price now just £180 Trade - Lightweight fretless possibly?

Mykesbass Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Just corrected a very silly error on the weight - may have put some people off - messed up imperial and metric - I put it down to age - the bass weighs 4.4Kg not 9 as previously stated.

Mykesbass Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Bump - let's have another go - plenty of views in the past - someone make me an offer please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlthebassist Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 These really are great basses. I fell in love with the 4 string version some years back, but couldn't afford it. At this price it is an absoloute steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamester4520503 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi - I know I'm probs too late but I got a nice light 4 string fretless? I could maybe slip this your way with maybe a little cash if you liked. I don't have a picture of it right now but it is a lovely bass to play, light and has been set up as well, so the intonation is pretty good. Its a slightly sparkling red exterior, all black neckboard and has a P/J pickup combo. Let me know what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi Gamester, Let me have some more info - pics would be lovely - if its the right one then I can always withdraw from Ebay. I have seen a more expensive fretless on here which I've sort of fallen for, but who knows? Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykesbass Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Thanks Gamester - hope you don't mind, but really want the other bass that I've seen on here so hope the auction gets me closer to the 200 mark. If it doesn't, then maybe we can look at a trade. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
