    Aria 70s Model 1820 Rebuild - ideas for rebuild?

    Funny enough the pick guard is one of the things that’s making think of keep existing pick ups or at least getting some custom pick ups to fit. Don’t like my chances of getting a pick guard to match changing over to a say a single humbucker, but keeping that overall pick guard shape as I quite...

    Aria 70s Model 1820 Rebuild - ideas for rebuild?

    Lol, no roo tracks! There’s a couple of local guys who do up early Japanese guitars and basses and a really clean stock Matsumoko Aria of this vintage would get around $500AUD. Unfortunately the purple refinish that was done at some time in its previous life went over the headstock as well...

    Aria 70s Model 1820 Rebuild - ideas for rebuild?

    Thanks for the suggestion I will check out the TV Jones Stuff. That’s my rationale as well. Cost me nothing and the objective is to get a great medium scale light weight player.

    Installed Bill Lawerance P-46s and very happy!!

    Installed some P-46s in my Momose Pbass the other day after reading the reviews on TB. I’ve gotta say they are even better than expected. I was after a tighter bottom end sounding P pick up with warmer clear mids and highs. Very quiet pick up and the clarity in the sound appears to work better...

    Thanks!! They’re just mixed in GarageBand so bit limited on tools for mixing / mastering. Although I wouldn’t know what to do with the fancier tools anyway if I had them .

    Here’s a couple of blues work in progress as a result of more time on my hands due to Covid. Still needs vocals and proper mixing. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
