Shepster8316 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I've just acquired an outrageously cheap Argent Series Aria Pro II bass, but have no idea about them and the tinterweb seems bare of info. I've had TSBs, CATs, Lasers etc over the years, but have no idea about these smaller bodied basses. It's obviously not old, but the paintwork has faded quite a lot as the truss rod cover showed when removed, so it's not exactly recent either.............. and yes, it really is supposed to be that colour :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I have no idea about them, but that is one nice looking bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 What's the scale length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepster8316 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 It's a 34" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'd guess it's early 90s from the styling, which puts it outside of the 80s Matsumoku era of your TSBs & Lasers, and 99.9% likely Korean-made. Post - MIJ Arias have never had the same kudos as they did in their heyday, but have remained consistently good quality - and there are some proper bargains out there. I quite like the green. Jon.

Grahambythesea Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 As Kermit's little cousin Robin would say, it's not easy being green! Looks like Aria were trying to appeal to fans of Steve Vai Ibanezs with that pointy headstock. Mind the eyes of your band members....
