Fionn Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Does anyone know what the fretboard radius is on the Aria SB's? (the SB1000/ SB900/ etc, not the SB-R models) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manton Customs Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Google guitar radius gauge and it'll bring up a printable gauge which you can use on your neck. There are other ways, but this is the simplest for the majority of people. You could also buy one if you'd like something more sturdy. What's the plan for it? Edit: I may have missed the point and you might not actually own the bass yet. Edited June 15, 2016 by Manton Customs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 My 1980 mark 1 "batwing" SB-1000 has a very large, almost flat radius. I'll see how it goes attaching a picture on my mobile - a profile guage on the 12th fret has around 1-1.5mm gap in the centre and the fretboard is about 52mm across at that point.

Norris Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I'll try to measure a little more accurately when I get home from work. The previous post was a bit slapdash before leaving this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 To future topic searchers who seek the answer to the original question, the fingerboard radius of an Aria SB is 12". I did what Manton Customs suggested, and downloaded some printable radius templates. When tested they were absolutely accurate. The bass I went on to measure was my 1981 SB900. The result is definite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
