The Aria Pro II Elite-II is known as one of the best Japanese basses to ever come out of the Matsumoku factory. Favoured by bass legends including Cliff Burton, Jack Bruce and John Taylor, the Elite II was one of the highest end instruments in the 1984 catalog (although this one was made in early 1983, making it a very early example. It's also wearing a non-catalog finish so it could be a custom order).
Alder body with a smooth maple transmit neck (and heel-less cutaway) and a rosewood 24 fret fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays. Weighs 4.7kg's.
Very good cosmetic condition as pictured with light wear and tear but no breaks or repairs. The neck is straight and the frets are shiny with plenty of life, the pickups are loud and clear and it sounds as good as it looks.
