alyctes Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I don't know if this has been mutilated or if it was built like that. Either way, it's fairly strange to the eye. But I do rather like it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Origineller-Aria-Pro-II-Bass-Japan-/222238560675?hash=item33be7351a3:g:UfEAAOSwFV9XypDP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Jon will be along later I'm sure and he'll confirm of course, but this looks like the same body as the Westone headless. I had one it was ok. The tone was quite aggressive. As they would both have come from the Matsumoko factory, sharing a body shape between Westone and Aria would be very possible.

Bassassin Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Similar, but not the same as the Westone. This appears to be a variant on a thing called an Aria WL Wedge - there's a high-spec headless version in [url="http://www.matsumoku.org/models/ariaproii/catalogs/1985/85_ap2_cat/85_ap2_cat.html"]this 1985 catalogue[/url], and a somewhat lower-end (possibly Korean-made, although I'm less sure now!) version, also headless, being discussed [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/262093-please-help-identifying-bass-difficulty-impossible/"]right here[/url]. Never seen a non-decapitated example before but I'm inclined to think there must have been a range of these oddities that never made it to the UK.
