About two years ago this little beastie came via a TalkBass member who lives in Florida. It's a completely stock 1984 Aria ZZB Deluxe in "Bloody Red" finish. Finally got around to taking some proper pics...




A couple of the nuts bridge:




Absolutely bonkers. To adjust the intonation you have to loosen the two bolts in the side, manually shift each saddle & then clamp them up again. That said, the fine tuners are very good.

Finally, a shot of the case:



Playability? Fast 'n' slick - 32" scale & a Jazz-type profile. Sounds? Turn the treble up & it homes straight in on Mssrs Burton & Entwistle, wind it off & it's quite docile - does a good "middly honk". Downside? It's 51" long (about 2" longer than a Thunderbird) & the case is enormous. Gigbag? That'd be nice but they're all too small.

Pete.
