This is an Aria Jazz bass copy, supposedly made of alder wood.
I just wanted to check and see if anyone can confirm this from my picture, as i love the play and feel of the bass and am very interested in upgrading it (plus, i love the colour!) http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6186/...623e9e31_b.jpg

My guess is it is BASSwood, don't we all have that?
