Aria RB550, I think!
Anyone would like to correct me, no worries - Jon??
Anyway, that's what I think it is.
I have another Aria "Ricalike", neck thru and I think that
is a 750?
They made RE and RB Rickenbacker copies, so it's one of them. :)
It is a really nice one, with a great range of tones.
I think I said this on my post about my Greco Faker - when both
pick-ups are on, there is a lot of range on the pot - at least a quarter
turn, with subtle differences - not like almost all other basses - a
Jazz is on a knife edge.
My Greco is Mono, don't know why they didn't add the stereo but
both the Aria's have Ric-O-Sound and using the lead that I have
for my Magnum, a lot of fun can be had, using two amps an two cabs.
Dry and then add individual effects to bridge and neck - interesting!
This one has found a new home in The Czech Republic - tones of
Chris Squire, Geddy or Macca, will be ringing around Prague!
I have to say, that the few genuine Ric's I have played over the years
have never quite hit the spot with me - don't know why.
Copies, from this era, are very usable - Aria, Ibanez, Greco, Kasuga
and many more.
Gigged my Aria SB404 on Saturday - been a long while since it had an
outing but it reminded me what a great bass it is.
Certainly not the most powerful in terms of output but ease the gain up
one notch on the amp and feed in some of the tones on the bass, Nice!
Lovely feel to it - oiled finish. Mmm.
Cheers. :)

Another Aria Bass!! This is an Aria RSB Deluxe, in Pearl White. This, I think, is a more rare colour - I have only ever seen a handful of others in this colour. There are a lot of different sounds from this bass. I used this last Thursday,...

Peavey Zodiac! Body, neck, two pick-ups, tuners and strings etc. . . . A neat package - just a nice bass. These are great basses to play. This one was my "Fireside Bass" for at least 6 months. "Fireside" because as well as having a great sound plugged...

Now, don't go into shock but. . . . . I have one 5 String Bass, just the one and no more. Those who know me a little better are probably thinking "steady now Eric, what's this all about". :) This is very much a closet bass - never rehearsed with...
- Aria Sb600, My First Sb. . . . . . . . .
Well, it did snow - quite a lot, so not going out today! Decided to go through some of my shots, delete the worst and sort out the best. I still struggle with the photography. Anyway, sat in front of a warm fire, I thought I might as well carry on, so...
