alyctes Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Aria GT-series. £120 plus shipping. I don't know much about these. Active bolt-on 4-string, single humbucker. The seller talked it up as a "Ray killer", but I don't know Rays. It looks pretty and businesslike, to my eye. The body has a nice trans-blue front and tidy cream binding. Bought from ebay some time last year, but I've barely played it. Good condition; a flaw in the paintwork and a tiny (1mm square) ding in the tip of the headstock are the only problems I know of. The flawed paintwork suggests it might have been a factory second? Neck is fine but too chunky for my taste; it's 43mm wide at the nut. The pup sounds nice but is a bit weedy, IMO. Controls are Vol/Bass/Treble; the two tone controls have central detents, which is a nice little feature. Currently wearing Schaller straplocks; I'll swap these for conventional buttons unless the buyer wants the Schallers.

Mcgiver69 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Just a correction mate! I got the 5 string version of this bass and the controls are not Vol / Tone / Tone but [b]Vol / Bass / Treble[/b]. It's a nice bass and I vouch for it's quality.
