Aria Pro II SLB-2A

[JamesXP]

Just picked up one of these for £50 you can see it in the attachments!


As you can see it has 3 different knobs and 2 switches... I have no idea what these do I do believe it's active I could just find out for myself but I'm impatient and wondering if anybody knows what the nobs are for?

also does anyone else have one of these? what's you're opinion?

i had the Slb2 in the early 90`s, yours is active, big switch is pup selector small switch is active on/off, front knob is neck pup vol, middle knob probably the bridge pup vol and back one tone, i stand to be corrected though.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Itching to get my hands on it haha! what benefits does the active circuitry have for tone on this if you remember?

[DarkHeart]

the passive slb2 pickups were a bit on the quiet side if i remember right as it was a budget bass in the day, id imagine the active bass will have a bit more punch, i used to love mine though cos it was my first `proper` bass.

in passive mode it is a bit quite, but you can fix it with a good pre-amp pedal. But beware, when you flip the switch into active, HELL's break loose🤯. Man, what a beefy sound it makes then, you blow everything away.
