I originally paid $267 for this in the end of 2020 and complained to the seller that it had mud in it. From what I could gather, it was in a flood, because of the mud and waterlogged looking nature of it. It was cleaned up and I disassembled it a couple years ago and it’s been hanging up in my basement waiting for me to do something with it.
Well, the time has come, little Aria Pro ][ bass! I bought some truck bed liner paint and after I sanded it down a bit, sprayed a couple coats on it. Looks cool so far. A couple splotchy spots, but I may knock it back to even it out with some light sandpaper and see how it looks. I’m going for a Cliff Burton tribute bass. Of course, the headstock is different, no gold hardware, no attack mode pickup selector switch, etc.
