Wow! When it rains... , etc.
Ya know, ya look through the ads time after time, and find nuthin'.
Zip.
Nada.
Bugger all.
Then one day ya hits th' jackpot!!! How about this selection then:
circa 1980 Vantage VT-40B Nice little bass with a few battle scars on the back but in overall nice condition
Price might be a tad on the high side though.
CAD$390 no case

1983 Aria Pro II RA Inzuma-VA single pup rock n roll machine. It's black, but it has a red lightning bolt!
Perfect platform for for modding or pup testing too.
CAD$290 with stand, but no case

You don't see these come up very often so you're wise to grab 'em when you see 'em.
They look bizarre, but play like a dream.
CAD$400 no case, which can be a problem storing and transporting.

1980 Aria Pro II PE-1500If the Urchin was bizarre, this is a masterpiece!
Certainly one of the finest examples of Uncle Mats' craftsmanship.
I've never seen one locally advertised before.
If I was rich man. . .*sigh*
CAD$3,000! w/ original case. The price might be a show stopper but jeez she's purty.
