steveg Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) A very nice playable short scale bass guitar originating from the 1960s, bound rosewood fingerboard, natural body (not sure if original), upgraded bridge and telecaster knobs, also changed pickups (possibly 1980s Aria according to information below). This bass plays really well with a vintage feel and sound. Comes with gig-bag. Price £150. Edited October 4, 2010 by steveg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 That front pickup looks suspiciously 80s Japanese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pickups both look like Arias to me. The cream neck pickup in particular looks exactly like an early 1980s Aria TSB550 or 650 pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillbilly deluxe Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I have my doubts.I would say that the neck is 60's/early 70's,possibly Sattelite brand ? but that looks a lot like a Strat type body.The bridge and pickups are definately not 60's.
