NBD - Aria Pro II 313 Detroit

I bought one of these, and like @Naigewron I had an experience less stellar than @stingray69... HOWEVER... I am satisfied with what I got for the price I paid. For a P/J upgrade platform, its light and the neck is pretty groovy. I may do a review as well, though is that necessary? If I were to speak at length about it on your post, wouldn't that be a bit rude?
 
Thanks! Yes, I thought Aria had stepped out of the instrument business years ago. I'm glad they didn't. :thumbsup:

From what I have seen recently, the Aria Pro II name has been resurrected within the past few years, and these instruments are Chinese made. They are not the same as those 80s ones made in Japan and Korea. That said, they look like the higher end quality ones from China, probably at least on par with the well regarded Squiers of the later 2000s.

Congrats on a beautiful bass!
