Aria Pro II Cat Bass

"The Sarg"

    Well the facelift is finished, what do you think? He started life as an 80s Aria Pro II Cat Bass, but since the war of playing has taken him to hell and back he deserved some upgrades (falling down an elevator shaft didn't help either). It started with swapping the original pickups for some Schaller humbuckers, then my cat knocked him off his stand and broke the neck. That started the conversion from stock to the beast he is today. This was my first bass, he has lived through the trials and tribulations of my life so he will stay with me always.

    Well I need to tear into him again to fit the electronics and recess the controls. Check back to see the results.
