Hi - bought this a while ago & it's a beautiful bass. Apparently they were only made for a few years in the early '80s & came from the Matsumoko factory in Japan. It was the top of the CSB range at the time & has a beautiful ash body with a carved top in a lovely red / yellow sunburst. Loads of stuff online about these - full details are at [url="http://www.matsumoku.org/models/ariaproii/bass/csb/csb.html"]http://www.matsumoku...ss/csb/csb.html[/url]

I bought it from the original owner & it's in great shape to say it's around 35 years old - tried to capture the dinks in the pics. Comes with the hard case that I think it originally came with. Since I had it I've given it a clean up & strung it up with a set of Status flats - plays really nicely.

Looking for £200 collected from Newcastle upon Tyne - possibly consider a trade for a short scale bass (try me!).

P.S. This isn't me or my bass, but a good demo of the same model in a different finish: -

I had one of these, specifically a 'Black and Gold' one. It was really very nice and I am not entirely sure why I sold it. I think it was a it heavy. Are you able to weigh this accurately please, Benedict? If so and it isn't too heavy I may throw some trade options your way via PM.

Free bump for a great bass. :gas:

£200 is an absolute steal - one of the nicest Medium scale basses out there.

Someone grab it - you can't go wrong.

:D

Thanks Eric! Totally agree - build quality is up there with top-end SBs I've seen & it has a lovely burp played near the bridge. Only found one other advertised & it's a lot more than this - if I had more space in the house I'd keep it...

Cheers,

B. :)

If I lived anywhere near Newcastle upon Tyne, you'd have sold this..... ;)

Is there no postal option?

Hi Tonteee - was hoping for a cash / collection deal ideally as don't have much packing material to hand for this. Will see if I can sort something out. Alternatively, PM me your location - know a few people who get around...

Cheers,

B. :)
