This is a damn sexy looking bass. I was under the impression that they generally sold for a lot cheaper though. Am I mistaken?

Re: Aria Pro II
Guh....
This is exactly the same as the first "real bass" I ever owned. My Grandfather bought it for me. If I wasn't so smack dab in the middle between my last gig in my next one I'd be all over this. It might be the one thing I'd buy to just hang on the wall. (Except not really. I'd totally play it.)
It's probably a little on the high side price wise. But, it is at least 30 years old and looking pretty damn good - except for the headstock chips. It's not outrageous though. You guys know how this stuff goes. It's old. It's left handed. It's worth what it's worth to the person who wants it on the day they want it.

Sometimes I think, maybe I'm lucky I'm left handed. If I could play any bass I wanted, my collection would REALLY be out of control.

Re: Aria Pro II
The headstock chip is VERY small and only in the finish. It's a fantastic bass.
