LewisK1975 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Oooof! - if it's your sort of thing. Aria pro II SBR-80: http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Aria_SBR.html Quote
synthaside Posted February 22, 2017 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. Quote
TrevorR Posted February 22, 2017 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
Grahambythesea Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Don't they have a reputation for dodgy electrics? Quote
spectoremg Posted February 22, 2017 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
T-Bay Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 It days On hold now so someone will be the happy new owner soon. Quote
White Cloud Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Whoa! That's the nicest one I have ever seen! Quote
Bassassin Posted February 22, 2017 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
prowla Posted February 22, 2017 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
3below Posted February 22, 2017 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

Defo Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 'Twas me, will post photos etc. When she arrives - bucket list bass Quote

On a personal level I'm surprising myself about how gutted I am to have missed this - if you decide it's not for you, do give me a shout. Quote

prowla Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 That is definitely a nice piece of wood you have there, sir! Quote
