dudewheresmybass Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 I recently scored this SB700 on ebay for a rather ridiculous price. There is an issue with the jack socket though and it needs a tweak to the wiring inside to make the switch work properly. I've always wanted an old Aria, due to some of my bass influences playing them. Cliff, Neil Murray, Rudy Sarzo etc... I know that a lot of those guys played the 1000/ elites etc.., but I'm a died in the wool passive kind of chap lol It's a September 1981 if the serial decoders are correct. I really enjoy the feel of the neck - meaty without being fat, and quite wide as well but not uncomfortable in the slightest. 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 I had a slightly later sb700 - much preferred it to the 1000 I had… Should never have sold it. Was a stunning bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 A knackered jack socket? Well, it's obviously a scrapper then. I'm going to the tip tomorrow, if you give it to me I'll get rid of it for you... 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
