Aria Pro II SB-700
The SB-700 from Aria Pro is a beautifully constructed piece of wood, a 5 piece Maple neck is sandwiched in between 2 gorgeous pieces of Japanese Ash with some small Walnut slithers to break it up.
Carved into a beautiful offset body shape with stunning curves, a real looker! The Matsumoku factory were producing arguably the best guitars in Japan in the early 80's, and this SB-700 is a testament to what makes these basses so good!
Spec:
- 5 piece maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard
- Full 24 fret 2 octave neck
- String through construction
- Single Kent Armstrong MB-II replacement pickup (brand new)
- Master Volume and Tone controls
- 1x Dual Sound switch (series/parallel)
- Brass Hi-Mass Bridge
- Brass Nut
- High Ratio tuning heads
Our old Aria is in great condition for a bass of this vintage, there's some scratches and dings here and there but it wears it all very well! Frets are spot on. The original pickup was dead (common of these old poxy potted Aria pickups) so we've replaced it with a brand new Kent Armstrong replacment. We've also replaced both pots as they were seized up, and the output jack. Freshly set up and restrung with D'Addario 45's!
