Here for sale we have an Aria Pro II CTB Series Electric Bass in Black Gloss finish. Made in Japan, this bolt-on neck construction bass consists of a small body, a Maple neck, and a Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include black chrome hardware, a 4-saddle bridge, die-cast sealed black chrome tuners, and a set of Aria Pro II active PJ pickups. These pickups are wired to a master volume, master tone, active EQ control, a 3-way pickup selector, and an active​/​passive switch. The Maple neck plays very well, with what might be described as a moderately sized 'D' profile which fills the hand nicely for a substantial grip without being at all cumbersome. The 'D' profile offers a small flattened area to the centre of profile which promotes ergonomic thumb positioning and comfortable fretting across the register. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and with its 14" radius is highly practical for a range of playing styles and techniques. Generous cutaways and body contours provide unrestricted access to the upper register whilst ensuring a comfortable playing experience. The pair of active Aria Pro II pickups combine the best of P & J sounds for a smooth and rounded bass tone which works well in a variety of contexts. There's plenty of power from the split-coil in the middle position, whilst the brightness of the single-coil in the bridge captures all of the attack and aggression of your playing. The controls keep things simple whilst also providing a lot of opportunity to keep your tone varied.
