Aria STB PB/M Bass Guitar (White)

THe Aria STB-PB/M is a solid body electric bass with a classic design and construction, an excellent entry level instrument - P style, with that characteristic P growl.

Not to be outdone by Cort these budget basses made by Aria are equally as awesome, though with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Where this bass shines is its tone and resonance, even just playing a few notes on it unplugged you're immediately grabbed by its volume and rich sound, something you don't usually expect from budget basses. The single P-style pickup does an impressively good job of capturing this too, if a rocky tone with strong fundamentals is what you're after then this is the one.

None of that is to say this bass doesn't also play very nicely with a smooth neck, no sharp fret ends and a very pleasant feeling action. Both this bass and the Cort Action PJ are our cheapest basses yet both of them are way better than you might expect, if you're torn between the two it's a matter of tonal and aesthetic preference rather than which is "best". If you're unsure best to come and try both, or if that's not possible have a listen to some of our demo videos on youtube.
