bigjimmyc Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Gumtree has sold me some more junk. This time it's an unloved jazz by Aria. However, I'd never had a jazz before, and it seemed to be intact so money changed hands. Just spent an hour cleaning her up, replacing the strings etc. Decided to remove the white pickguard too. Seems to have very light fretwire, almost like a mandolin. Not quite what I'm used to, but playable nevertheless. A ham-fisted setup will happen shortly. If anyone can tell me the origin (China, Korea, Indonesia probably) I'd be obliged. Pictures if anyone insists. Plugged in it is a really nice thing! Great tone and way more character than I expected. Thanks Gumtree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblueplanet Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yeah. Get some pics up. Always of interest to see a new/old toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassHertz Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Got one of these. I had a Dimarzio and a Schaller pickup lying around so I stuck them in there. Great bass for recording. The STB's weigh quite a bit though. Though the pickup routing is a bit wide it still has the jazz bass pickup shape so it looks quite nice without the pick guard on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikkers Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Aria made Jazz Basses from the 70s until now. We need pics to help you. Or/and a serial code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
