NBD - Matsumoku Pointy AriaProii

[Standalone]

A couple more pictures these explorer style instruments really do look radically different depending on the angle.

Totally!

Now I just need to decide how to store it!

Thomann has gig bags for T-Bird/ Explorer type basses. Not expensive! I got one for my Epi Vintage Pro T-Bird (which won't fit in an Epi T-Bird hard case ). I did order a bass at the time, though, so they piggybacked the gig bag on my order for no additional shipping. Just a thought.

I had one of those with the single pickup (DT-150). It was awesome but I had too many guitars.

Congrats on the this score of scores! I have the zebra version of this bass & they kickass!

I think I will only gig it on larger stages. But at home it’s so comfortable to rest my forearm on it and just slouch and jam.

It's nothing short of a gorgeous bass!

Aria Pro ii ZZB. MIJ.

Sadly the packing job from the reverb seller meant that the tone knob didn’t survive. Happily, it’s really enjoyable to play! My favorite thing about it so far is actually the slap tone.

you had me at “pointy”

nice snag. what a great finish

Man, what a cool looking bass! I'm jealous.

What a killer bass! Those Aria bridges are a thing of beauty.

 

[Peavaria]

That is a beautiful Aria! Those do not pop up very often! Congratulations!
