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 Gone.
From time to time, one or two of the collection are found new homes.
This is because I have either got several of the model (NAS)* - been
persuaded to part with one that has been on long term loan with a friend,
found a better one/nicer colour option or I have had it, enjoyed and it's
time to move on.
The TSB-650 is the latter - I have had it for about three years, bought
it when I was having some issues with my left hand, as being medium scale
it was easier to get on with - played it and now it is with someone else who
also really likes it.
Typical Aria quality, Series/Parallel selection - stacked controls, which
means you can blend in each pick-up and adjust the tone individually.
Some great sounds - Strung with Elites, it would go from biting bright
to dub thud, all in a handy sized package.
The Four in Line TSB head is not that common - most Aria's have tuners
either side of the head. Nice balance, comfortable to play, glad I had one.
I have several other Short/Medium scale that I bought around the same time
and I will get round to doing some of them later on.
So, here it is. . . . . . TSB-650.
Back next time with a Classic Ibanez that has also found a new home.
Cheers. :)
*NAS. Something that I was either told by Peter Cook, or that I have
read about John Entwistle - "Noah's Ark Syndrome" - The need to have
at least two of everything.
He certainly had it - I have it in a much milder form! :)
- Peavey Foundation - Line Around Head. . . . . . .
This is something I have been using quite a bit, over the last few weeks - so I thought it would be a good time to give it a mention. This is the Made in the USA, earlier "line around head" version, with the Peavey "P" control knobs....
- A Picture Tells A Thousand Words. . . .
Time for a bit of a cheat, today! Left my memory stick somewhere safe, with some more of the collection, so not to hand at the moment - no pics!! In the meantime, the link I put up a few posts ago, comes up with these results, which I thought would brighten...
- 20,000 Visits! Here's To The Next 20,000. . . . . . .
Since I started this project, I have now had over 20,000 page views! To all those who have been here before, hope you have enjoyed it so far and hope to see you coming back. The feature that attracted the most visits, was the one that was on the guitar...
- Peavey Zodiac. . . . . .
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...
- A Little More Aria. . . . . .
I have just managed to acquire an Aria Elite "1", to go with my two Elite "2"'s!! That's a bit of a mouthful if you say it quickly. The man I bought it from is a lifetime bass player and was a pleasure to meet up with. A lot of interesting stuff,...
