  • Do you still have this instrument? I

  • Yes, I still have this one. It's a Aria. Thanks for asking. Are you interested in it?

  • I just picked up a Aria Bass that's almost 100% like it. The only difference is the pick ups and the bridge. I'll throw up a video of it in the next few days, they both will be listed on ebay in the next few days, I'm open to offers on either or both basses. Thanks for your interest.

  • Listen to the guy saying its a Conrad and everybody else is wrong.

  • I´m from Mexico and i found this Bass but haven´t any brand, but sounds really great, like semiacoustic bass, like no other . I still thinking to sale ... but i need more info about it!

  • I am old enough to remember when the Beatles first hit it big.....as a result a lot of these low priced japanese knock-off Hoffners hit the market.....they were sold at F. W. Woolworth, Lafayette Electronics and department stores etc

  • what's this strange background sound?

  • If it doesn't have a name on it, it might be Teisco, which is Japanese. Although that fingerboard-to-neck job does not look too Japanese to me: it is something you would normally associate with the Soviet Union.

  • this is an Aria - great basses - looks like it has been played plenty, Not original tuners, never saw pickups like that on them so I am thinking late 60s - the 72 thru 74 models like this also had different bridge - similar but different.

  • I have an Indonesian Hofner which came with a small sticker proclaiming its origin but of course I removed it. Without it a stranger would never know.

  • i have one and is really a mistery

  • This a National viola bass. Late 60s mfg in japan.

  • really strange viola bass..
