Most likely a 1978 'lawsuit era' Aria (lawsuit as it has the 'correct' headstock shape).

Dings and dents, but nothing terrible - this is a bass that has been played, and survived almost 50 years. The ghosts of some old stickers on the back.

3 piece body in beautiful sunburst finish. Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard.

Knobs are not original, and looks to have had an ashtray bridge cover which is long gone (everyone took these off!).

Would benefit from upgraded machine heads (one rattles a bit, but is fully working) and some tlc to get it set up how you like it. I think it would benefit from lighter gauge strings than the ones currently fitted.

I am not much of a bassist, and this has spent the last 10 years or so living safely in a case, so it is time that it finds a new home where it will get used.

Fantastic quality Japanese built bass from a legendary factory.

Collection only from York. I am sorry but I will not post this guitar.
