$100 AUS - Special, first in the door...
$400 AUS - RRP
The lightest bass I have ever played, comfortable styling, and a punchy
sound.
Yellow fade in the white finish, thin paint used chips easily, nothing
else....
This bass is strongly constructed, and seems to have a wooden core coated
in fiberglass, which still has a nice unique tone. Typical 4 bolt-on neck,
with low, fast action & a solid bridge. Mine is setup with strings
BEAD (as opposed to EADG), however the intonation can be set very accurately
- resulting in a sweet sounding bass, wherever you play on the neck....
I did not intend on purchasing a bass when I bought this, however the $100
one-only special was impossible to miss out on. I could have paid up to
around $600 for this bass & still be impressed by it's weight &
extreme playability.
Just like Aria Pro guitars, their basses can stand up to a range of
playing styles, however I'd say it is best suited to slap/percussive
players who believe a good beat is just as important than a good melody.
