Magnificent roasted maple. If you ask professional bass players what they want from a neck, maneuverability and tuning stability will be top of the list. The process of roasting a maple bass neck brings the oils within to the surface, infusing the wood with a sleek, lubricated feel for unmatched natural agility. This also strengthens and stiffens the neck, drastically reducing negative reactions to changes in temperature and humidity for spot-on tuning every time.
Expert craftsmanship. Constructed with an ash body, the Aria 313 MK2 Detroit Bass is light as a feather, and offers supreme comfort. Ash as a body tonewood, delivers an overall bright tone, with good sustain and excellent balance. The ash yields a strong upper mid-range, and a beefy low-end, providing a superb tone that accommodates a range of styles.
