Hey! You can find great deals on used Arias on the evil bay if you look hard enough. I got my current main onstage bass, an 81 lefty Aria SB, for $700! there's a couple of beautiful ones almost identical to cliff's, aside from the finish, for around $1250, on there right now.

Thanks xero.I dont want to spend much.There are some stores in Japan that sells sb's for resonable prices but i cant find the elite or black n gold that i want.

> Yeah those are the rarer ones. I mean, you can save a ton on the regular SB's and still get the killer tone if color is still important you can always send it in to get refinished. There's some great deals on those pro II SB's on ebay like mine, and a lot are vintage and in pristine shape- mine looks great aside from a small finish chip on the lower horn and a small finish crack right on the edge of the body. It plays like a dream.

Thanks zero as I said I have seen one in my city for 300euros but it has a lot of marks.the problem
Is that it has a crackle between the neck and the first fret.I believe that is a color crack only.all parts are original and I am thinking of it

> Great deal. And you can always fill in the cracks and noone will know

I recommend the bass for sure. Let me know how it goes!

Nothing yet.I cant find one in reasonable price.I want it years ago.I want an alembic and an aria pro.I've got an alembic but i 'mstill looking for an aria.Thanks to all for your help.

I think i'll give up.....I see many of them but all asks more money than the money I can give.I see basses with signs and scars and the sellers asks a lot of money.
I'm still playing with my alembic and I am very happy..............
Keep bass-ing
