This is the fourth and final post on a vintage Aria 1820 short-scale bass restoration job. The bass has been refinished in Flat Black, rewired, reassembled, set up with Ernie Ball 2852 Short Scale Regular Slinkys; and tested with the help of my trusty Laney RB2 bass amp [Gain: 3, Volume: 5, Bass/Mid/Treble: Flat, Compression: On].
Both pickups are working, but their output is definitely much lower than typical modern-day bass pickups. One other thing I've noticed is that the amplified volume of the A string is considerably weaker than that of the G, D and E strings. Tell you what. I've uploaded an audio file to SoundCloud, so do give it a listen :)
