Aria Violin Bass hollow body no f holes

[vbeesneez]

I have recently purchased a few guitars, one of which is an aria violin bass. I can't find the same one anywhere on the net. it is in perfect condition and i want to idetify it if i can and find out it's value. Any ideas? thanks in advance.

by the way, the serial number starts with 0 which indicates a 1980.

thanks

YES THAT"S it, that is my Bass. It looks as good as that one too, any idea what it would be worth?

There is however one major or minor difference, my guitar says, aria, not apollo. doesn't that open up a can of worms.

FWIW - that tailpiece with the diamond on the wood background screams early '70s Matsumoku. That's what I have on my Epiphone EA-260 bass and I've seen it on all sorts of Arias, Univox, etc. guitars and basses.
