    Aria & Aria Pro II Club (Part Four)

I’m over the moon to have her...

    Aria & Aria Pro II Club (Part Four)

    Hi there, it’s the MB-II, i don’t think it started life as a fretless bass, its at Stuart Palmers guitar workshop now so i’ll let him see whats what, the wiring was a botch up at best.
