simon73 Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 My first ever bass had a thru neck, this was an Aria pro 2 sb, carn't remember which model, it was a long time ago and it got stolen after a few years. I was gutted. I gave up the bass shortly after that and took it up again nearly a year ago. Bought myself a cheap bass, which I do like. It is an Westone Thunder 1! Well, let me get to the point. I have been looking around for a new one and have come to the conculasion that I do like the Ibanez 900 SR, and I was trying to think what else is on the market at this price. I have seen one for just under £500 and around that (Give or take is my price range). Any sugestions. Thanks Simon Quote
bass_ferret Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Aria have relaunched the SB range - including the SB1000. Quote
simon73 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Posted May 17, 2007 My first bass was an aria sb! was a nice bass. Thats interesting. Quote
Bloodaxe Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 The SB-1000 reissue is a tad pricey though, £1200 at Denmark Street prices. On the 'bay at the moment is this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rare-1980s-Aria-SB-900-Electric-Bass-Guitar-JAPAN-SB_W0QQitemZ120119511131QQihZ002QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]SB-900[/url] with a BIN of £450. Same as an SB-1000 but with two pickups. Pete. Quote
simon73 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Posted May 17, 2007 and my Sb1000 in 1989 cost me £100. How times have changed! Quote
Bloodaxe Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Those were the days... [i]Everywhere[/i] seemed t have a second-hand shop piled high with manky old tut - Selmers, Wems, Sound S*ittys, Copicats (some of which actually worked) etc. etc. for peanuts. Oh for a time machine & a grand. Quote
simon73 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Posted May 17, 2007 I will allways regret not buying a jaydee back in about 1990 for £300. Quote

If I could buy that again tomorrow but not via EBAY I would. Strong recommendation from me...why on earth did I sell it... Chop Quote
