My clearout due to moving country continues... with that in mind - no trades please. Up for sale is the newly re-fretted Aria SB-Elite II / SB-ELT / SB-RSZ Model history: so here is what I know of the history behind this model(thanks to @Fionn for this info!): when it was first released, they called it the SB-Elite II, but changed it to SB-ELT shortly after, so it wouldn’t be confused with a previous model named SB-Elite II. Anyway, Rudy Sarzo was playing one, so when they got him to endorse it they renamed it the SB-RSZ. All. 3 different names in only 3 years of production. Meanwhile, in Japan, they called it the SB-800 the whole time, despite the fact that there was already a bolt-on single pickup model with that name.... Bass History: Anyway, back to this particular bass - it was originally fretted but somewhere along the line became a fretless which is how I bought it back in 2018. I had it professionally refretted by a local luthier (Tony Wright of Lakestone Guitars) so it is now back in it's original form. Whilst it was being refretted I took the hardware and got it shot-blasted to get rid of the tarnish on the gold hardware - the hardware now has a nickel-like finish which looks much nicer IMO. It isnt perfect though - the gold finish was heavily tarnished and so the shot-blasting worked well but in a couple of small areas it went a bit further so there are some areas where that are slightly unsightly - I am being picky here as this is a 30+ year old bass but I want to be as honest as possible. The bass in general is in very good condition for its age but again there are a few little bumps and knocks commensurate with normal use - certainly not abuse! I have tried to capture all of these in the photos so please study them carefully - there is nothing of any real significance other than a slight crack near the jack - the bass is rock solid, everything works perfectly including the truss rod and electronics. All the pots and switches have been cleaned and work perfectly. Did I mention this bass sounds epic? Not to mention versatile, despite being passive! It features VVT controls and two coil tap switches to give you plenty of tonal varieties to chose from. The natural tone of this bass is quite bright and clear with a hot output. The bass is all original and I believe the case is also original to the bass. There is a small screw missing from the control cavity cover but otherwise it is complete and fully functioning. The same luthier that refretted it has just given it a pro setup with new Warwick Red Label strings. The ergonomics are excellent - perfect access to all frets , comfortable playing standing or sitting thanks to the body shape and contours. This bass weighs exactly 4kg and the balance is as perfect as it gets. The neck has a jazz neck feel to it - ie thin and fast. I think that covers all of it - if you have any questions please let me know. Worldwide shipping available at cost - I have a box to pack the bass and case in to for added protection. Detailed photos here - please check these for the not so pretty bits!: https://photos.app.goo.gl/chfjsuMRjE1n4kJKA

Clearly sir, you have not been in my presence after a curry!

The Godin ACS SA is a beautifully made semi-solid nylon-string electric guitar with synth access. Used acoustically it is loud enough for solo practice. The neck is like that of a regular classical guitar but less chunky, with a nut width of approximately 49mm (1.15/16in). The nylon-string output from the well-balanced piezo pickup under the compensated saddle is via a standard 1/4-inch jack and is controlled by a volume slider and 3-band EQ sliders with switchable mid frequency. Battery power consumption is extremely low. The guitar can also function as a synth controller when connected to a Roland or Axon guitar synth using the included 13-pin cable, through which it also draws power for the synth circuitry. The fourth slider controls synth volume, and the two push-buttons correspond to S1 and S2 in the Roland system. I used to have a guitar synth, and this guitar tracks far better than any add-on GK pickup I have used. If you don't want to use the synth function you can safely forget about it though! It is currently strung with D'Addario Pro-Arté hard-tension strings. This does not make the guitar 'harder' to play - on the contrary, you can dig in more (especially with a plectrum) without causing buzzing and tuning issues. They could do with changing, but I am including a fresh set plus a set of Savarez strings as spares. I played this very guitar, with a plectrum, on this demo: Don't Speak solo Comes with thickly padded Tribal Planet gig bag (with neck support), instructions, correct Allen key for the truss rod, and Schaller strap locks to match the strap buttons on the guitar. There are a few minor scuffs and scratches, otherwise the photos give a good indication of the guitar's overall condition. The dots in the close-up pic of the bridge are tiny raindrops btw! Price is £625 £575 £525 collected from Swindon, Wiltshire. I can't offer courier delivery as I don't have a hard case so as to be able to insure against damage. However, I may be able to deliver to your home or workplace in person for a contribution towards my diesel costs - PM me with your location if you want to discuss this option. No trades thanks.

Hi Guys! Here's my Custom Bass for Sale. Buckeye Burl Emperor 5 Bolt-On This Emperor 5 Bolt-on was built with a Mahogany body and Ebony fingerboard, this instrument has a rich and articulate tone with powerful lows, growling mids, and clear, bell-like highs. This bass was also built with a 3-way coil tap switch that allows the Seymour Duncan dual coil pickups to it to be played in dual coil, outside single coil, and inside single coil modes. This bass also features an incredible Buckeye Burl top and Mother of Pearl tulip inlays at the 12th and 24th fret! Cheers! Tamas

So, after sitting in its case mostly since I purchased on here earlier this year, I’m thinking of letting this beast go. This is a stunning unique little bass, built by Chapman for Dave Hollingworth from Toska. It’s a 4 basically designed to be drop tuned, fanned fret 35 - 32.75 (same ratio as a Dingwall, just shorter (more sensible!) scale length overall). Obviously, due to it only being 35 max, it’s fantastic in E standard too, indeed that is how it’s currently tuned! It’s very Warwick esque in its build, fancy woods and a wonderful curved body. Sounds really nice, super articulate. Full specs below. Looking to pick something up more traditional so I’m moving this on. It’s in great condition, just a nick near the bottom shown in the pics. Comes with its full hard case. £1,500 new, now discontinued, not sure how many were made in the end but they are hard to find.
