stacedabass Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 hey i got this bass off my mate for free as he just had it under his bed doing nothing and i was moving his stuff to a new house(i took pity on it). it is kinda trying to look like a burns bison or something like that. Well it was very dusty,bad electrics, and somebody had badly painted it black. any way here are some before and after pics: After The sound it produces is quite big and fat because of the two bigoff pickups, i likes!! Well i was wondering if anyone could try and figure out what make it is(if any). There are no marks or names anywhere, though i have just seen this bass on ebay that uses very similar components, machineheads etc [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-1960S-JEDSON-ELECTRIC-BASS-GUITAR-MADE-IN-JAPAN_W0QQitemZ150294976498QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item150294976498&_trkparms=72%3A12|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-1960S-JEDSON...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url] Cheers for any info, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 See anything familiar here? [url="http://www.matsumoku.org/models/aria/catalogs/75_aria/75_aria_catalog_pg1.jpg.html"]http://www.matsumoku.org/models/aria/catal...og_pg1.jpg.html[/url] Although I'd hesitate to say it [i]was[/i] an Aria A-200 - for that we'd need an Aria logo on it. This same design of bass seems to come up quite a lot, from different manufacturers & different countries. The Arias were definitely Japanese, but recently the exact same bass (apart from having a black scratchplate) came up on Ebay - with a definite Made In Korea label... There are quite a few of these knocking about, the vast majority unbranded - if you trawl through the JapCrap Spotting Ebay thread, you'll find one or two listings still active, and if I remember, one or two other BCers have had them.
