TheGreek Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I missed something when I tried that a couple of weeks ago. For the money it's not worth the trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Been on eBay for ages that one, supposed to be excellent basses. Some had beautiful tops, can't see much from those awful photos so you might get a nice surprise. Arias always seem to punch a fair bit above their weight, just an unfashionable name which (along with the photos) is probably why that one has hung around for a bit.

TheGreek Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Still nothing from the seller so I've started a dispute with eBay. Just going to get my money back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 It's been on eBay for ages that, the last revision to the listing was back in 2021. Seller has probably sold it, forgot it was listed and is just ignoring your messages. They also only have 2 feedback and I'm assuming the recent negative one is yours! There's another one listed which might be worth watching and waiting for a price drop: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255990565923?hash=item3b9a3a0c23:g:ncsAAOSwAg9i1l2-&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAkL%2FW9z0teV%2B5X8nxlbgeeI8yTQJohusq94RZAwMUhwMLaUZrhSSfBR7VXiSZ6ijsF2V8lB6%2ByPVGzVshUEqORPd3%2Bpyp%2BJHwtcv8LB0KL4gKUwNJTnRCkORm1oQVPMAoY9LYJThkQhEFbTTSFIFwU8h6corDyDeGWdw2Ug2QSG9FwYATFtBabeIobhNxHhasoQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_z_-6HUYQ Not one of the nice tops though, some of them look like this: I think @Bassassin has/had a very nice one as well.

TheGreek Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 So the saga comes to an end.... I started a dispute using eBay and suddenly she gets in contact with me apologising for not going on ebay. She sends me her address which my phone doesn't recognise but puts me close enough to find the flat. Bass looks OK - I'll take the dogs out and check it over when I'm done. JOOI anybody want it??

TheGreek Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Phone on charge so it'll have to be tomorrow for photos. The body is a figured black/ dark grey like the one in @lemmywinks post featuring some early roadworn-ness - remember this adds value to instruments. Neck is a non-sticky gloss finish which feels tiny since I've been playing 5ers. The standard MM Humbucker has a surprising broad spectrum of tones - far better than I expected TBH. Gunky cheap Chinese (I believe) strings produce, again, surprisingly good tones though these should be changed at the earliest opportunity. If I'd had this earlier in my career I wouldn't be unhappy with it. If I was given it I would be a more than chuffed. Easily worth what I paid for it - even with all the messing about from the numpty seller (who had it tuned in some weird tuning). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gigged a Chinese Aria IGB55 for a while which had what I presume to be the same MM pickup, sounded brilliant. Swapped it out for a Seymour Duncan Basslines as one came up cheap (can turn down £30!) but there wasn't that much of a difference tbh.
