Re: Aria Ricky 4001 $100
WOW, could you check if the guy ships to EU and how much that would cost? I'd love to have that bass at that price.

Hard case included in sale! I've emailed him, just pray I get a reply. Japanese can be a little gun shy when dealing with foreigners, even those of us who live here & speak, read & write their language. Will post if any answer. G

Re: Aria Ricky 4001 $100
Not sure of some of the character's exact meaning, will ask the wife to read it for me. Seems there's a small issue with the tone control, but nothing too major from what I can glean. Will post tomorrow night my time if not sooner. Cheers, Glen

Re: Aria Ricky 4001 $100
Sorry Jesper, looks like the guy either disabled the contact function except for actual bidders or he already had it set up that way in the first place. Can't tell but my email bounced back. Yeah, absolute bitchin bummer coz as I only have a ¥5000 limit, I can't bid on it & thereby contact the seller. I need a Japanese issued credit card to get an unlimited bidder right. As suspected, only probs are with the tone controls. It's gonna go for a stupidly ridiculous price probably, that hurts even more. Any changes I'll let you know but don't get your hopes up mate:
that's why I hesitated to even post it here coz it's such a d--k tease but other members said to post 'em anyway, for educational purposes.
