jim50hertz Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Hi all For sale is a nice early 80's Matsumoku made Aria Pro II Cardinal series CSB-450 medium scale bass. Kim Deal apparently played a CSB-380, it's the Gigantic bass. The 380 is the bolt on neck version. Link to specs here http://www.matsumoku.org/models/ariaproii/bass/csb/csb.html Set neck, nice action, plays lovely. Got flatwounds on it. Some chips and buckle rash. Selling for silly money from Japan. I'm after £250 plus shipping. Best Jim Edited June 23, 2017 by jim50hertz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandad Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) I have a 1981 CSB-380 and can vouch for the build quality of these instruments. The neck/action is the best I've experienced. Edited June 23, 2017 by grandad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim50hertz Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Off hand I don't know. It's pretty light, especially in comparison to my jazz and P basses. I'll weigh it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
