Golats Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I picked this Aria Pro II up yesterday for £25. Does anybody know which model it is or how to get the manufacture date from the serial number? I've been doing the usual Google searches but it's only adding to the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, couldn't believe it myself - just popped up on Gumtree and I got in first. Do you know what the model is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt Bassassin will be along to correct me. The £25 has just registered!!! Bloody hell! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a tiny bit of GAS for an IGB for a while - I'll take 5 at £25 a pop - cheers! Can't shed a great deal of light on this - my Aria Awareness is peripheral to my MIJ fixation & this one, as it says, is Korean. MIJ IGBs are like hen's teeth. BUT - as far as I know, the S prefix should indicate Samick as the manufacturer - and a quick Goog suggests that this is probably from May 1996: http://samick.wikia.com/wiki/Serial_Numbers Hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does indeed, thanks Bassassin. It's in good nick for a 22 year old! I'm very happy I've actually got a bargain; I usually JUST miss out on them.

Skybone Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Looks like a 90's Integra (IGB) to me too. £25? Bargain of the year that one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Korean Samick, nice basses. Mine were bought and sold for around £100 so you got an absolute steal. Couldn't really fault them - nice hardware, well built, lightweight and sound great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
