(NOW SOLD)

*READY TO GIG*
*CAN DELIVER WITH A REASONABLE DISTANCE FROM AYLESBURY EN ROUTE TO WORK*

Bought this last year as a temporary until I got my new ACG bass. 
I got the new bass but still held on to the Aria as a back up and a travel instrument. I also now have an travel bass🫣 So something must give……..
Now it’s time for someone else to put this to playing duties and enjoy😊 
Still in very good condition (look at the pics…only one obvious blemish)

Now with professional mods read below.👇 
 
Description:
*It was a passive bass but I was missing my East UK. active uni-preamp sound and flexibility so I decided to upgrade the electronics and so added an East mid stack and Bass/Treble stack. Quality!!
*I also changed the tuners to the better Schallers for more stable tuning. Quality!!
*Better quality & longer string tree/post added to cover all the strings. 
*Shielded the cavity to make it more resistant to hum/buzz.
*Japanese high mass brass bridge replaced the lighter original. This tightened up the high end, notably the slap sound (especially with the active electronics). Quality!!

* New Overwater brand strings!


So now it owes me a bit more than the asking price, which I will not cover but at least get close hopefully.
 
Really good sounding, plays easily, looks great and can be used in most situations!
 
**Collection from Aylesbury unless the buyer willing to cover courier arrangement/cost.**
I’m willing to deliver if it coincides with a gig journey or otherwise reasonable.
Ask away for any further information…..

I'm staggered that this hasn't sold yet. Do people realise what they're missing here, for the price of a pedal?!

I'll never understand why brands like Aria and Cort don't garner the respect and interest they deserve. Once again, fashion is a cruel mistress.

Have a BUMP on me @Bass Wielder 

 

Like @tobiewharton, I'm equally staggered that this hasn't sold yet.

 

The upgrades are worth the asking price alone! 

 

A sign of the times, I guess, but for anyone needing a quality 5er at a very decent price, this bass is just about perfect... 

 

GLWTS 🙏

Yeah……bemused.

I’m not too fussed as I don’t want someone to buy it and not use for GAS sake.

Hopefully it would go to the right person and be used at it should🤞🏾

I just need to make space and recover a bit in the process.
