Bloodaxe bought a lefty laser heritage off the 'bay for £69 recently, albeit with kent armstrong pickups.

I'd say that was a bit of a bargain, but matsumoko Arias can be quite variable in their selling prices for some strange reason. Some very clean models can get a few people chasing them, others get no interest at all.

this one has a string missing and is in fair shape apart from that

Rather depends what you describe as 'fair' condition. I take it you've seen the Aria thread in the ebay forum? It gives a flavour of the kind of prices Matsumoko era basses go for, and unfortunately for you they tend to be on the cheap side. The exceptions are generally the SB series (which can still go for bargain prices, considering their original cost and quality) and truly mint condition items.

On the plus side, people are sloooowly coming round to the quality of these instruments and prices are (slowly) rising. At the moment though, I suspect you'd struggle to get half of the £250 you mention. But ebay is a weird place - if you read that thread you'll notice that an Aria CAT (bought for £26) sold for £76, but only after the guy listed it three times.

Meanwhile, here's a laser that sold in Italy recently -

Sure they did an active model of this ![/quote]

I thought you used to have an active model? It was called the Classic BTW - I happened to come across an old review for it while looking for some info the other night.

Incidentally, that CAT is back on the 'bay after the last buyer failed to stump up - BIN £70.
