synthaside Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I love the look of these , but i always found they came up a bit short when i owned an SB400 it was certainly 34 scale but it just felt very small , an advantage for some but not this gentle giant.

TrevorR Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ooooooh, that is gorgeous! If it had been Padauk Red (like my SB700) I'd be seriously tempted right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectoremg Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 That's a lovely bass, one of the iconic bass designs IMO. That's seems a very good price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 On hold. Bugger. My dream Aria SB-R right there, and a surprisingly good price too. Would very probably have pulled the trigger on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I used to have an Aria Pro II bass in the 70s (I think it was an SB700) it was quite nice, but rather large. It was fretted but could sound rather fretless-like. I bought it new and sold it at some point I don't precisely recall when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Inspirational for next build and a bargain. What price for an equivalent from a boutique luthier? My eyes are watering at the thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
