Whoa! I need to know more about this right here!
Aria Cardinal series bass, CSB-450. It's pretty badass. Super well built and playable. Beautiful neck. What I like best is the look. The 450 was the most deluxe of the CSB style, which was the cheapest Aria design. The pre-Dootlitle Kim Deal sound is some sort of CSB.
I got this a couple weeks ago but haven't posted about it. I played it in Seattle and had it shipped to my place when I got back. The brand says Lafayette but I'm not really sure what that means. Anyway it looks weird, was cheap, has a nice comfy big neck, plays great and sounds great too.

The neck pup is round and deep kinda like a P split coil, and the bridge sounds like a J but less snarly and honky, a little smoother. i can make a demo or something if you guys wanna hear it
thanks guys I am interested in putting a foam mute on it, I think it would get me close to the flatwound sound. I much prefer the feel of the grooves on a roundwound strings. Would that be something that would be easy to DIY?
(Very sneaky with your unlisted video. I was just wondering why it didn't appear in my feed.)
That bass does sound good.
A lot of those basses had a foam mute under the bridge cover. Yours is missing the bridge cover. You could try to find one that fits or maybe make one. Shouldn't be too difficult.
