Left handed aria pro II SB 1983 neckthru bass. Cliff burton

Post by MetalMilitia »

After lots of thinking I have made a very tough decision. I would like to sell my left handed aria pro II SB bass.

This bass was handmade in the original matsumoku japan factory for aria. It Is a beautifully crafted neck thru bass from 1983 with solid swamp ash body wings and a 7 ply rock solid maple neck with walnut stringers. It is equipped with a single mb 2 aria pickup and volume, tone, and coil tap switch. This was my main bass for a while but I don't use her much anymore and would like to see her go to a home where she'll get plenty of use. This bass is in remarkable condition. There are very few marks at all, just two small finish cracks and some small dings and chips but this bass is in near perfect condition.

The bass has a beautiful ebony fretboard with 24 frets and stunning pearl inlays.
34" scale.

For fans of Metallica like myself this bass is IDENTICAL spec wise to cliff Burton's famous aria pro II and absolutely nails the master of puppets and garage days EP tones. This is the closest you'll get to owning a lefty burton bass. I guarantee it.

This is extremely rare of a bass especially left handed. Don't miss out.

I have dozens of HD pics and will ship this bass extremely well packed anywhere in the continental US. Email me ranger75georgev@aol.com for info and pictures. I only deal over paypal.

$950 shipped or best CASH offer. Not looking for ANY trades.

:shock: NICE!
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.

Schweet! :) Is that an SB700?

Would love to find a lefty SB1000 some day.
