Aaronk0 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hey guys I've been offered a aria pro ii Magna for a very cheap price, I couldn't find much about this online so I figured post it here and see if anyone has any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Cool-looking bass. Not familiar with this exact model but it's very close to the Aria Avante Steve Bailey sig: Dunno how cheap it is - but I'd buy it, always liked the look of these. You might get some info from one of the APII Facebook groups: [url="https://www.facebook.com/groups/AriaProII/"]https://www.facebook...oups/AriaProII/[/url] [url="https://www.facebook.com/groups/196371477217872/"]https://www.facebook...96371477217872/[/url] Jon.

They don't talk about those! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronk0 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks for the information guys, I ended up buying it as the price was crazy low, I droped it into the local music store for a full restoration and setup and can say it's one of the finest 5 strings I've ever played. The chap in the music store was in hysterics for what I picked it up for haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronk0 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 With the setup it worked out at less than £100 all in all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 You jammy sod! Lovely looking bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmansmith Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 That's amazing. It does look remarkably similar to my Steve Bailey 6 string. I love this bass...only purchased from the Bass Gallery (London), about 2 years ago its now no. 1 in my collection. The quality is comparable to the Yamaha signature series, my only criticism is the scratch plate feels a bit thin. Enjoy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I had the otherwise identical trans red magna 5string and it was great. Struggled a little with the neck width Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I believe it is from the Steve Bailey series. There was also a 4 string... I have an old bassist magazine somewhere with Carol Kate sporting the 4 string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
