recently got back into making sounds after a few years long hiatus. my old trusty Aria axe got quite a few new friends to hang out with over the last months. latest addition arrived only yesterday, and the urge to show it off is overpowering! here's my current electric arsenal: Hi Grosstraktor, I have an Aria 1720 as well--inherited from my Father-in-law a few years ago. It's in great shape and I only play around with it occasionally. It plays like butter and has a good range of sounds with the three position switch, etc. Do you know if the pickups are single coil or humbuckers? What else can you tell me about this little bass?

so here, left to right, are the NS EUB, the new kid on the block, the ancient MIJ Aria 1720 (short scale, Mosrite copy) and the cigar box strummer i use when i feel like pretending to play the guitarnot pictured: the cheap, crappy acoustic guitar and the acoustic upright.
the new bass i dubbed the Eye of Horus is 36 inches of thunder and some more. crafted by Alexander Louchko of Moscow, Russia.

Rippers are cool, I had a grabber. It was stupid heavy but it sounded cool.View attachment 881027 here's mine. just acquired the ripper today
yeah it is heavy. but i realized my stingray is actually heavierRippers are cool, I had a grabber. It was stupid heavy but it sounded cool.
I like the neck on the stingray better. I to this day have not played a gibson bass that I fell absolutely in love with. Had an opportunity to get one the 70's RD artist basses a few months ago but I realized that it was $1700 for something that I would end up getting rid of.yeah it is heavy. but i realized my stingray is actually heavier
