aria pro-II xrb

I have an aria pro 2 xrb 2a-c. Well half of one anyway. We had just finished the last song and put my bass on the stand when a drunk wanker stumbled and fell on it. Result - Neck snapped. I bought a cheap P copy neck of ebay, think the name of it was ranger. I will post a pic as soon as i can.
 
Hi McSleazy, Greetings from the east coast! I have one in metallic red with the black head stock. Its my shed bass! One day shall paint it shocking pink and gig it for a laugh. Its actually a bl**dy good bass, I junked the electronics as they were a bit crappy, great neck tho'. I also have an SB600 and a Laser Electric Classic both excellent basses. Get one if you can especially the Laser Electric Classic as it has an evil preamp in it! I used to have a CSB380, a MAB40 and an SLB2. All lefties as you have probably worked out. That green XRB is evil, do you gig it?
 
I have one. It was made in Korea and the serial is 8051313. I've never seen another with the same paintjob (blue crackle), but I'm fairly sure it came that way from the factory. I picked it up cheap at a pawn shop about 5 years ago. The frets were a disaster, so I ripped them out, filled the slots with plastic strips, and had my repair guy sand the fingerboard. It plays pretty nicely now, but I don't use it much and am considering selling it. However, I have no idea what it's worth and have found very little information online. They also don't seem to show up on Ebay too often.

it was my first ever bass, that which i learned to play on. blue crackle paint job, wasn't active or anything. split pikcups at the neck, J bass at the bridge i think. two knobs and a switch, made in korea. really pointy headstock...and boy was it pointy. i cracked it into so many things and even stabbed the keyboard player in the knee at one point. big novelty tuners at the top. In all my since-learned bass wisdom, i am desperate to find another one toi relive my chidhood on. at the tim i owned it i could play smoke on the water and prolly enter sandman. now i want to slap that bitch silly
