Mid 90s violin bass. Its a semi hollow - solid wood in the middle with pickup, piezo and active preamp. The inlay says Aria custom shop so i guess its from Japan. Think its pretty rare cause there is limited info to be found via Google. Very solid and nice sounding bass.
Wow, love the look of the head on this, but bholder has a point. How does the neck feel and what does she weigh in at? Is there a brand name on those machine heads or are they blank? That finish looks very sweet. Any back pics? Nice score.
Heres a pic from the backside - someone added a second strap button along the line - balance is ok! Feels more like a solid than a semi. Its not a light bass - dont have a scale handy right now, but its nowhere along the lines of a hofner.
neat looking instrument! congratulations! what kind of neck feel does it have? chunky? nut width = ? thanks.
