Bassassin Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140159458511"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=140159458511[/url] The Aria STB-GTs attracted a bit of GAS & drool back in the BW days, and I snagged a 4-string version of this bass a few months back. The pics on the listing really don't do it justice, they really are gorgeous - bookmatched flamed top, bound body, maple board & pearl block inlays. Decent hardware & an active circuit too. I think list is about £250 - £300 for this. I'm half-tempted myself, but for the fact I have no use for another 5er! Jon.

BassBunny Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Agree BA. Aria's are really underated. Funily enough it was an Aria pro-bass, (that I won), that got me into playing Bass. It's one I would never sell. Fantastic action, really slim neck and nice sound. Could be a real bargain for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is finding HOW they do it. I know Aria sell off "end of lines" through the trade at stupid prices. When I "won" the free bass from guitar magazine, the one I recieved was faulty, (the cheap P Bass copy). They collected and then discovered all the Pa Basses were like that as they are built to a price. This was when the offered me the Pro Bass and sent a list to chose from. It was a list of discontinued gear at about 70% off retail Maybe a few speculative e-mails may bring an answer. The answer may be "Sod Off" but who knows......
