Sign in to disble this ad
Hello, I live in Argentina, and I want to know if the basses from the luthiers are good. I like the Aria SB1000. Can a luthier build a bass similar to that Aria ?
I ask this because I don't know the quality of Argentinian Luthiers.  |

Exotic woods, neck through construction with super tight tolerances, custom alembic like humbucking pickups and preamp. Its no POS, they are fine instruments by any standard... |

I still have seller's remorse from selling my Aria some twelve years ago.
