I really don't need a 6th bass. BUT a seller on cl was selling a '70 Aria 1720 for next to nothing, w/typical period chipboard case. Too good to pass up.
MIJ Mosrite copy!

Nice! I've been gassing for the DM-380, the 6-string version of that. I love that Mosrite body style. Congrats!

Guitars: Lots.
Amphs: More than last year.
Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.
Thanks, being a Ramones fan I've always wanted something in the Mosrite family, since Johnny played a Mosrite guitar. I didn't expect to ever buy a Mosrite-y bass, but that's the cool thing about craigslist, ya never know what's going to pop up.
When I started playing in clubs (at 15), the guys in the band I'd sit in with had a Mosrite guitar that shape and color. I really liked that guitar. Your bass brings back a lot of memories. Congrats on the find.

Sure, it can play Ramones, but can it get down with some Beatles funk?
Haha Tig that's a hoot.
Thanks guys, finally got round to taking a pic myself:
The magical floor spawns another guitar!
Congrats! That is one cool bass.
VERY cool bass - nice find. Those MIJ from 70's/80's are great builds with a real vintage vibe.
Thanks. By coincidence the church band has an "outside gig" at another church in a few weeks, and our bassiste will be unavailable for it. So I talked my daughter into sitting in, and she's excited to get to play the Aria, since it's a short scale (30.5") bass for a change.
This is us playing last year in one of my side bands, Pedagogy. She's playing her USA Peavey Foundation through my bass rig in this pic:
2 VERY cool things....that Aria....and that you've raised your daughter to thrown down with Pops.
Clearly you're doing things right.
