I am the second owner of this beauty, it was modded by the original owner who had an Alembic MXY pup and pre installed.
It is in very good condition for a 23 yo bass, a few dings and light surface scratches, it came with a hard shell case, I do not know if it is the original.
Possible trade for a MIA Fender P Bass
$600 plus shipping conus - contact me for payment options.

These Matsumoku made Aris, in particular the Superbasses (SB's) are wonderful instruments. As a matter of fact I collect them, rather obsessively.
Aria produced Superbasses to compete head on with Alembics at a lower price point, hence a lot of modded ones you see have been modded with Alembic guts. While I believe in keeping my oldies all stock, I have played modded SB's with Alembic guts and like them quite a lot.
This will make someone very happy to be sure. I cannot say enough good things! |

What is the switch for?
How would you describe the sound?
What is the width at the nut?
Thanks,
Karl

Thanks,
Karl | The switch does nothing, it was the series/parallel switch for the stock pup.
Sound? Like an Alembic with one pickup in the sweet spot. Very clean and uncolored, slightly bright.

This bass plays great - as all the SB's do, with the Alembic pup it becomes truly awesome, make an offer.
