eubassix Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 pretty sure this isn't an SB1000 (?!)... :- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202343176990?ViewItem=&item=202343176990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK Jale Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 One of the SB404 variants isn't it? Most had four knobs, this has five, but I think it was still called a 404... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Its not a 1000 or a 404 , i think. The 1000's always had a single pup didnt they ? And isn't the 404 a passive bass ? Ebay bass is active It has quite a modern font headstock logo too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Aria did a reissue / redesign a few years back. This is definitely one of those couldn't tell you the model though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Interesting, this one. These were early '00s, as far as I remember. The S suffix on the serial probably means Samick, Korea. Occasional BCer FlatEric has a 5-string version of this in his blog (same build & control layout), which he names as an SB505: http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.com/2011/04/aria-sb-505-and-little-bit-of-jaydee.html So typical naming conventions might suggest the 4 string should be an Aria SB504. However, performing an image search for this term yields lots of pics of womens' sandals. I found that peculiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK Jale Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 You know, I must admit, I myself found those sandals on Friday There's an identical four-string on a TB thread where someone ID's it as an SB404, despite the five-knob layout... and also a sale ad from Poland, again a five-knobber, which also insists it's an SB404. So unless there's a numbering convention that eludes us, it's pointing towards an uncommon-ish 404, as you say from the early '00s... Incidentally I'm quite liking the tan and black strappy ones with the cute little heel, how about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well personally I'm all about those flat silver thongs - but moving swiftly on... We've had one right here back in '07 - the seller (Tinman, who I don't think comes here any more), managed to dig up what looks like official specs, calls it a 505 (despite it being a 4) and I assume bought it new: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/863-aria-sb505/ Formatting's a bit mangled following the site update but pics are intact plus a fair bit of discussion & info. Also found a 5-string 404, which might (or might not) be called a 404/5. Googling SB405 finds lots of pics of this and very little sandalage. http://www.chorder.com/electric-bass-guitars/aria/sb4045-5212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 It's not a 70s one - wrong bridge and lots of other things. I bought some Havaianas yesterday; they need a bit of wearing in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
