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 it and
never played it live. :(
I have an Aria SB 404, which is listed a few posts back and when
I saw this I thought I must have that, the 404 being so nice, this
would compliment it nicely.
The truth. . . . . I just can't get on with a 5 string - maybe I'm too
set in my ways but try as I might, I can't get the hang of it.
I still pull it out from time to time - I was listening to the original
album by Seal, the other day and listening to those lovely bass lines
I thought I would have another go.
Half an hour later . . . . . Nope, still can't get to grips with it. Shame!
As a bass, it's a cracker - some really great sounds from the actives
and very powerful, everything you would want. . . . if you can play
a Fiver! Not unduly heavy, balances like all the Aria SB's of that design,
perfectly - I know I keep going on about Aria balance but it's true.
So, here he is, Mr 505!
I am still waiting for some extra information on the Jaydee Gemini,
so for time being, here's a sneaky pic, just to keep you interested!
That's all you're getting for now - hope to be able to post up the
whole story next time.
Cheers. :)

- Aria Rsb Deluxe Bass. . . . .
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,...
- Aria Rickenfaker - Rb550??. . . . . . .
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. :) ...
- Aria Tsb-650. . . . . . .
Time for more Aria. . . . . . I have been a bit busy, so I have not been keeping up with the blog as much as I would like to but as I said in the last post, I am hoping to do the Jaydee and it's original owner as a feature, so sit tight! Been and...
- 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...
