An Aria Pro II Thor Sound Series (TSB) 4-string fretless electric bass guitar, manufactured at the Matsumoku factory in Japan. The instrument features a solid double-cutaway body with a sunburst finish. It is constructed with a multi-piece bolt-on neck, likely maple and walnut, topped with a fretless fingerboard and a brass nut. The electronics consist of a single humbucking pickup in the centre position, controlled by a volume knob, a tone knob, and a mini-toggle switch. The hardware is chrome-plated, including a high-mass bridge and clover-leaf style tuning machines. The headstock displays the Aria Pro II logo in white script. The chrome neck plate is stamped with the following: MATSUMOKU, G790031, MADE IN JAPAN. The serial number indicates a production date of July 1979. The bass is housed in a vintage blue rectangular hard-shell case with a grey plush faux-fur interior.
