Aria ZZB "Thunderbird"

No idea about these, but it might easily be missed because it's misnamed...

Not now it won't be!

Looks in very nice nick - these usually seem to turn up beaten to hell. Not my thing (I never manage to get those jazz gigs!) but would be cool if someone here got a bargain.

I did have a defretted one but decided to sell as the first fret position may as well have been in the next town it was so far away

I take it the reason this one has a scratchplate is that it has been routed for the Stingray pickups? Mine had the standard soapbars with the staggered poles

Think I need my eyes tested - I didn't even notice the scratchplate, 'Ray pups, individual bridges.

So - I hereby retract any previous positive remarks made about this bass. Shamefully & needlessly butchered!

Got a different bridge to the ones ive seen, mine has a fine tuning bridge, that scratchplate looks awful!
