Scored this little beauty off eBay for £45. Worked out at about £60 including postage, it's an Aria STB
Been looking for a cheap and nasty bass as back up as i hate having to look after 2 decent basses at a gig (2 stands, 2 hard cases etc.). Took the white scratchplate off, put some used but still good strings on it, gave it a liberal clean and lemon oiled the fretboard and it's sweet! Thin frets and quite a loose feel mean it can pull off a convincing fretless impression. The bridge pickup is great, pinched harmonics are very loud and picked notes sound full Thing is, i want to look after it and keep it nice now!

Nicely done. If it plays well and sounds good then it can't be wrong.

QUOTE (sturm @ Jul 17 2009, 02:02 PM)  why do i never find stuff like that? It had only been on a short while. Save the following search: Electric bass guitars, Buy it now, Newly listed Keep having a look, most of the really cheap good stuff goes in the first hour Works for anything really, got my missus a P3 ultraportable laptop with XP for £20 posted! I also remember seeing a brand new Acer netbook for £50 BIN including postage when they first came out. Clicked the button and it had gone after 2 mins! |
