Aria RSB Deluxe 5 for sale (Pulled, for sale elsewhere) - *SOLD* £300 Cambridgeshire

[bassatnight]

SOLD
 

For sale my 1985 5 string RSB Deluxe in black

 

Works perfectly, but not in the best condition finish wise. Quite a few scratches in the finish and the odd ding, I have tried to photograph the worst of these marks, but as new she is not. Bought on a whim as I intended to have her cleaned up and possibly refinished but was cost prohibitive and I just don’t have the time, could do with a setup.

 

There is some tarnishing to the gold tuners (as photographed) but the bridge remains in stunning condition.

 

Not looking for a king’s ransom due to condition and happy to courier at cost to you within the UK.

 

Cheers,

Steve.

Tempted .....

What a cracker….. it’s beyond me why folks still spend twice as much money on a new instrument, when there’s absolute bangers out there, like this, for peanuts. 
 

If I didn’t have an MOT looming, I’d be all over this.

 

Love Arias.

I gigged a 4 string version of this in a metallic candy red finish for about three years,

sometimes doing 2 gigs a day, 6days a week.

It not only lasted the course, but sounded great.

From memory it’s 16mm, but can measure when I get back home on Tuesday.

Active? Can you explain the controls please and give an idea of weight?

[weepaul]

If I recall these are passive. 2 stacked pots (vol & tone) for each pick up with a series parallel for each as well. Pick up selector.
