Hello. This is a re-list. I had this up several months back and after no serious inquiries decided I wanted to keep it. Well, I need the money for a holiday trip so....back up it goes!
This is a year 1980 Matsumoku MIJ Aria Pro II SB900 with all original hardware/electronics. I've owned this bass for 7 years (bought from Japan) but for the past 3 it's been sitting in its case. It's been played only in my home, never gigged out.
Cosmetically the bass is nearly flawless. There are 2 areas on the body with some chinks in the finish (which I've tried to capture with the pics), but nothing deep, no gouges or severe damage. The pickups themselves are pretty scratched but this does not affect the sound in any way. The fretboard is in great condition, while the frets show moderate wear. The brass bridge and nut are very clean, no rust. It was strung with DR Sunbeams earlier this year.
Specs:
5 ply maple/walnut Transmit neck, brass nut and bridge, rosewood fingerboard, 24 fret, ash body, 2 MB-1 double coil pickups, 2 volume, 2 tone, pickup sel switch, phase and coil cut switches.
Included is the hard shell case that came with it. The case has nicks and bangs in it and one of the three latches is broken. It still handles the instrument well and will protect it during shipping.
$800$775 PayPal'd and shipped/insured to the ConUs. OR
$750$725 to avoid the PP fees and save a bit.
Questions are welcome. I'm not looking to do any trading at this time. Thank you for looking.
