Golats Posted April 28, 2018 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

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

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

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. Quote
Skybone Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Looks like a 90's Integra (IGB) to me too. £25? Bargain of the year that one! 1 Quote
lemmywinks Posted April 29, 2018 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
