EUB trade anyone..........?

[Beedster]

Hi all

I have an Aria SWB which seems to be a pretty good EUB. Having taken up DB in a big way recently however I'm finding that I'm all over the body on the DB, and whilst the skeleton on the Aria is very light and easy to fit/remove, I really need the feel of a VERY solid instrument upper bout (is that the correct term?) against my upper chest/shoulder to allow the EUB and DB to feel similar to play, which is my objective. So, I'm looking for an EUB with a substantial, but ideally removable, heavy-duty body skeleton. It doesn't need to be the whole body, although I'd prefer this, but it will need to have a very solid skeleton on the upper right side of the instrument as you play it. I play DB whenever possible, so the EUB is backup in most cases and only first choice when there's not enough room for the big fella. In short, I'm not looking for £5k's worth of state of the art kit here! In fact, the instrument in John's thread here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=51894&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=51894&hl=[/url] would be perfect.


I'd value the Aria at around £450-500 (used price) so would be prepared to put cash in for a more expensive instrument or trade for one of approximately the same used price. I guess if someone wanted to buy the Aria that would be a possibility to, but I'd need to find a replacement before I let it go.

Stock picture is below. Mine's in the same colour scheme.
