1967 Aria Pro Owned by Geddy Lee???

Who cares- it's a decent deal for a mint looking cool Aria :D
The obviously fake backstory adds to the fun!

Not for that model. The Cardinal Series were the lowest of the low of the '80s Matsumoku Arias. 32" scale, bolt-on necks. Even with the hard case I reckon the seller is out by at least $300.

Ballpark UK market value for a CSB is GB£150.

Good basses & usually highly undervalued.
 
I have an Aria Pro bass from 2000 B.C. owned by Moses when he was with the Egyptians...it turned into a snake on him and it slithered away and I ended up with it. PM me if you are interested.

The bible places the Exodus in around ~1446BC, so there's no way this bass can be from 2000 B.C. I knew something was fishy about this story. Nice try!

Hey pal, you better give that back. It was given to me by someone pretty important, if you get me. And it'll probably bite you.

Wait, are you saying this is the real deal? I think you're an shill placed here be vstring to try make his story stick. The 0 in your name is a dead giveaway.
 
I think that story is a bit dodgy alright. That being said, I'm trying to offload a 1948 Fender P with a pickup handwound by Eddie Van Halen for Seymour Duncan which was then stolen by Geddy Lee if anyone's interested.
 
"What the hell you talkin about"

"man i need the money and everyone is to cheap to buy this thing for what its worth so im being forced to sell it for cheap it sucks ass having to sell it but u gotta do what u gotta do."

"Oh and you and your **** talkin buddies on talkbass.com can kiss my ass."


That's what I got (3 separate mails).
 
Well, he updated the add:

Mr. Duncan hand wound the pickups for this bass causing them to create a very beautiful sound, great range, and all together creating a wonderful bass. the bass is in good condition with brand new strings and a hardshell case. also included in this deal will be the contact info to confirm the history and a bill of sale and a copy of the past history on paper. And for all the trash talkers on talkbass.com ill clarify things for you...the bass was given to his roady who became a truck driver which while driving thru the small town of deming stopped into the music shop i was working at because the pickup had burnt out i sent it to john pollard a tech for aria who contacted mr. duncan about the pickup. after getting the pickup back i i attempted calling the trucker back with no response and after 3 years i figured they werent coming back for it so i kept the bass as payment for the work i did on the bass. Now times are getting tough and i need to sell this bass and since nobody is willing to pay what this bass is truly worth i was forced to sell it for what i put into it. im sorry if the history sounds to good to be true but i assure u it is very much true.

He must have forgotten to say that Mr. Pro hand carved the bass himself.
