Nice guitar!

If the serial is on the neck plate the year is going to be difficult. It is likely early 70's going on the knobs and the bridge if they are original.

Thank you!

It's a very nice bass to play and it sounds awesome with my ampeg b2 head.

I think the bridge is original but not those strat-like knobs.

I can't really tell from the pics. The originals would look like those from the early Aria electrics.

Take a look at the Aria semi-hollows from the same period.

Hi Franck

it looks like this Aria Mosrite copy 1968/1974 : Aria 1720

http://www.matsumoku.org/models/aria/so ... /17xx.html

may be 1971
