[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='260544' date='Aug 12 2008, 01:38 AM']I was reading something the other day about Aria Pro II basses, and landed on a page about the SB-R80. It reminded me that I had one many moons ago, and just out of curiosity I wondered if it had landed in anyone's hands on here. It's particularly different as I stood on the guitar lead whilst standing up and broke the jack socket on it, so my dad replaced it with an XLR socket instead. I part-ex'd it for a Yamaha BB110S at Sounds Great in Wilmslow, Cheshire circa 1986-1988, so if someone bought one from there, it was more than likely my old beast. And I'll bet the current owner isn't the tiniest bit aware that the previous owner before me was none other than Tony Butler of Big Country. So.....does anyone have it?[/quote] MB1. Recently found my old 80s AriaSB so there is HOPE! (I havent got yours by the way!)

MB1. Nick!... i think theres loads of people on here that have previously had a lot of basses ive had 70 that ive had and moved on!...Youre the only person,i know of, thats still got em all! .......Seems you aint much cop at moving em on! Martin.

MB1. Not to be trusted in the"Hall of Mirrors " then!

[quote name='bnt' post='260515' date='Aug 12 2008, 12:41 AM']It's a few years since I could be called a "strapping young lad"... I call my Tune's strap "Ernie Ball", for some obscure reason. The Tune is called "Tune". If I ever get a cat, I'll call it "Cat", I suppose.[/quote] MB1. Must be confusing when you come to?....No!.... i'll just get me coat!

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='260514' date='Aug 12 2008, 12:38 AM']Lets hope that Fiat don't start designing basses eh readers? ..the Maracas bass?

[quote name='the_house123' post='260347' date='Aug 11 2008, 09:09 PM']Your rite Mikey, the sustain is fabulous! With a pick this bass beats everything iv played to date, on full tone through my GK it has such a beautiful growl. The neck however is quite a bit thinner than most other P basses iv played but i like that as im so used to jazz basses. nah my student loan hasnt arrived yet but its going to cover it if you get what i mean. So rite now im drowning in overdraft but as i said my loan will cover that. Bad move but daym it was worth it![/quote] MB1. Must admit this looked very nice when Niceguyhomer was selling one on the forum!,still looks nice now! At least youve got something to show for it!....Be very aware of fat men in black combat jackets knocking loudly on the door! (The league of Gentlemen) Saw the 1962 stax/volt Norway Tour on BBC 4 (Duck Dunn bass/Steve Cropper Guitar).....Absolute Mustard Mate! .
