[quote name='Clarky' post='778634' date='Mar 18 2010, 02:32 PM']Why noty make him an offer and see if he will cut his reserve price (still time left to do that)?[/quote]Yeah I might do that actually...

[quote name='Clarky' post='778622' date='Mar 18 2010, 02:23 PM']This of any interest, fellow Clarky! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-Pro-II-SB1000-bass-guitar_W0QQitemZ270547615175QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item3efde4fdc7"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-Pro-II-SB1000-b...=item3efde4fdc7[/url][/quote] Cheers for that Clarky! I've been watching that one for a while now, he keeps relisting it as no-one will buy it at that price! It's dropped a few hundred over the past few weeks...

Welcome to the forum! Great to see another Japan lover here!

That blue jazz is a bit special, looks awesome!

Meh... I quite like the look of an all white P bass

What's the worst in your collection? I'm going to fess up my cock-up project, I'll get it out the loft and photograph it in the morning....

respect for the funniest username on here, and welcome on board!

Here's my settee, I went for a nice soft brown leather one. Sorry about the basses in the way blocking the shot...

I'm going to do that this weekend. I think those Schaller straplocks have screws that are slightly smaller than Fender screws, I've heard its so their screws will never crack the paint and they won't get sued...nuts but apparently true! I read it on the web so it has to be right!

Surprised I didn't see an Ibanez Iceman bass in there though mate?

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='775405' date='Mar 15 2010, 05:02 PM']I've suddenly come over all inadequate! [/quote] +1 I feel pretty inadequate now too!! Gary, that is an [u]amazing[/u] collection you have there.... I have bad gas now!!!

Cheers Gary, the Aria just sounds so good, all the memories came flooding back when I bagged this one. All the others have become the spare basses now, I just want a SB1000 now too! Why oh why did I sell mine back in the early 90s just for a lads holiday to the med?? major error!

Cheers Clarky! The old P is a beaut, had it for years now!

ahh.... there's amps too, doh, forgot them! i'll break my back and wheel in the ampegs in a bit.

Finally got off my ass and taken a pic of the current lineup...

Aria Catalogues Just found some great clearer scans of the early Aria catalogues. [url="http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B81O_PQg1P-uMDBjYzFjNzAtZDY0Ny00MDRiLWEwNTMtYzJjY2ViYzUwNGI1&sort=name&layout=list&pid=0B81O_PQg1P-uNGY0NzhhMjYtNWY4Yi00ODdkLTg0OGMtYTVkMzI5ZTUyZWNk"]Aria Catalogs[/url]

cumberland or lincolnshire? welcome to basschat!

you could always get a flight case for the amp then sit it on that for gigs?

Another new Jap has just surfaced on the bay.... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-Pro-II-SB1000-bass-guitar_W0QQitemZ270547615175QQ"]eBay[/url] Its a SB1000, and its the 4th (or 5th) run on eBay, its dropped from £750 down to £595 now and as far as I know no-one has ever bid on this every time its been listed. He could be up for a good off-ebay offer if anyone wants a padouk one?!

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='775645' date='Mar 15 2010, 08:32 PM']And sometimes even BCers fess up to such [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=62697&view=findpost&p=775331"]jolly japes[/url] I used to have a mate who did the same to all his auctions - when he'd run out of folk to ask it he'd try me, then get all sniffy at me for being a cock and declining his request.[/quote] haha

Maybe its a frankenstein then? It could have neck and body from two different Aria's?
