Best value:
Excellent
Made in Japan, 24 frets Bolt in 3-ply maple, rosewood fingerboard, graphite nut, double adjusting rod. Alder body in two parts, mechanical Gotoh bridge and two single coils pickups, active electronics. I gave a preamp that had previously been removed, to put a Seymour Duncan, giving a master volume, a sélecreur microphones, low, mid and treble.
UTILIZATION
Channel pleasant, relatively thin, 21mm string spacing at bridge, good access to acute, excellent balance, proper puds for a 6-string, standard design, a bit like a Musicman. Good violin. the pickups lack a little tone, and a worthy replacement models slightly "pêchus", but all frequencies are there.
SOUNDS
Fitted with D'Addario XL strings, the sound is perfect, from metal to funk, jazz, you can play anything on it. the settings are simple and very effective. tested on Ampeg, Harke, and live console, the sound is excellent, big sound to the more crystalline pallets is extensive.
OVERALL OPINION
Do not rely on what can be said of Aria, they made excellent models, with an impeccable violin. this one is the proof. Since 2000 I use it, she delighted the audience and its use is a nameless joy! it is a model of a good quality / price ratio. not too much need! better, it would be a bass luthier, but now the price is not the same.
