***SOLD*** Aria TAB-66 Semi Acoustic NOW £225 £245 Bournemouth

[Mickeyboro]

Sold
 

Long-scale hollowbody semi-acoustic bass guitar in black. 9/10 condition, neck pristine. Black finish means it looks mean and magnificent! The body is a lot thinner than you'd expect.

These seem to have been the model for the Chowny CHB series. I have owned a Chowny and a Jack Casady and have found the Aria TAB-66 to be the equal of both. (The bridge and tailpiece beat the Casady bridge hands down). The two pickups can be used separately or together; the neck varies from Rickenbacker to Rivoli, while the bridge pickup adds a more percussive, modern bite. 

The finish is that of a luxury bass, and the balance on the strap is good with no neck dive. I bought this to use with my folk-rock band, and it certainly looks and sounds the part. Really wish I could bond with it, but I am too comfortable with my Fenders.

Comes with an almost-fitting gig bag that works fine for transport.

Nice!  If I didn't have a BEX-4 I'd be after this.  I do like that white lining in the F-holes, very elegant
