I need some info on this vintage Aria Bass!

[audiodrome]

Does anyone have any information on this vintage Aria hollow-body bass? My father bought it new back in the early '70s so I assume that it's from that era or earlier. Inside the bass it has the model number HF-5120 but I haven't been able to find any information about it online at all. Any idea what it might be worth? Thanks!

Made from 1970 - 1974. The specs are on this page.




Here's an old thread about the same bass.



Looks to be in real nice condition. As mentioned in the above thread, I think $250- $275 would be a fair price, maybe a bit more, but not over $300.

Wow - thank you very much for the info! That's the only time I've ever seen anything about it. Since it's in very good shape do you think it might be worth around $200-$250?

I think it's easily worth at least $200-$250. You never know what someone is willing to pay, but personally I would ask $275-$300 so there's some room for haggling, and not take less then $250 for it.

It seems like there have been a lot of posts about these, and the guitar versions, lately. I wish I could remember what I paid for my Epiphone EA-250, which is the same basic instrument. I want to say it was around $275, with a hardshell case modified to fit the instrument.
