Hi all,
I was pointed in the direction of this forum by Guitar Gallery after contacting them with information regarding a bass guitar I recently obtained, and my quest to get another of this model and to investigate any further history I might glean about the particular item I own. (And that it might be of particular interest to other members here due to it's heritage).
The guitar in question is an Aria Pro II SB-R150 Fretless with 1 previous owner from new. The serial number is 109891, which, going by the concensus of how the serial numbers ran, would make it a 1981 model. Being a fretless model makes it quite rare in and of itself but what makes it unique is that 1 previous owner i mentioned early - namely, Jack Bruce. Although it's not as famous as several of his other basses, it still has that heritage, as it was specially made for him and I believe that not many of this fretless model were made for general sale.
It's a beautiful instrument to play (and I have used it live a couple of times) but, given it's heritage, I don't really want to be using it as my main instrument, so I'm on the lookout for another example of this model that I can use in place of my Overwater (by Tanglewood) which I really liked until I got this Aria.
Steve
