Look at that grain!! :shock: :o :P
Selling Aria Pro II JB-600N Jazz Bass Model. This very rare left-handed bass was made at the Matsumoku factory in Japan in December of 1977. The body of the bass is made of two gourgeous pieces of japanese Tamo Ash and the maple neck sports a bound maple fretboard and some very nice block inlays. Proper woods, proper hardware and proper workmanship all round. Plays and sounds great. No changed parts, fully original. Weight: 4,4 kg = 9 lb 11 oz

The grain is wicked!
Not normal Ash though, special Japanese stuff. :)

But more fabulous than a wicked grain is a wicked intonation. The saddle's don't look healthy to me.. Or is that stuff fixable?

Maybe that's why it's not sold for quite some time now, I don't know. I do know that I've been eyeballing this ever since the Finnish seller posted it on Arni's, way back.
