Grassie Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I wasn't planning on buying another bass as I'm currently awaiting the arrival of a new jazz bass, but this came up today, courtesy of the brother of my guitarist friend. Aria, model FEB 30M (I think), natural top, 24 fret, fairly decent gig bag included, although I might try to get a hard case for this as it's going to be the main bass I'll use in my jazzy combo. Nice... Action is a bit high for my taste, but the truss rod is very stiff either way I turn it, so I'm going to live with it for now. [attachment=226503:Aria acoustic.jpg] Not too shabby for £80.

gary mac Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Bit of a result I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Nice! I got my Vintage acoustic so I could go around and play with friends who don't have bass amps (or any amps), but it has a deep gutsy resonance you just don't get from a solid-body. The perfect voice for low-down dirty blues. Plug it in and it just sounds like a bass - so on the rare occasions when I gig with it, I keep it acoustic with a mic in front. Explore and enjoy!
