 Aria Pro II Cardinal Bass CSB-450

 

Vintage Aria CSB-450 for sale. The pictures should speak for themselves, but some noteworthy points:

* this is the top of the line of this series produced by the Matsumoku factory in the early 1980’s
* excellent physical condition, just a few dings that come along with 40 year old bass
* deep tobacco sunburst finish
* set neck, truss rod adjusts’s perfectly
* just set up with new D’Addario strings, plays like a dream
* historical info can be found at http://www.matsumoku.org/models/ariaproii/bass.html

Editors Notes : As I have stated before this is another one of those Japanese Made Basss from back in the day. They are Fantastic Instruments, Make any of the new versions look really bad, These basss are holding great value if anyone is interested in that part of the deal. If not these old japanese bass`s play sweet as sugar too.

1966 Ampeg Baby Bass1

This is a 1966 Ampeg Baby Bass that I am posting for a friend. He purchased the bass new and has enjoyed it for many years and now he decided it is time for it to go to a new home. I was over at his home last weekend and he allowed me to play it and I fell in love with it! It is a beautiful playing instrument, is all original with the original stand and the original transport bag. the bass had a headstock repair done to it many years ago and it is in excellent playing condition. The bass has a couple of minor blemishes in a couple of spots from a warm heat register causing bumps to the plastic body and you can’t really see them.
The owner is a bassist who has been playing for many years and being 91 years old he has decided to sell the instrument so that someone else may enjoy it as he has all these years.
