Aria bass I.D. ?

[fleabag]

Can someone ID this bass ?

 

I had a good nosey around the net but never found the model.  Its probably at the cheaper end of the market

 

Cheers folks

I can tell you this is from a very short-lived range of SB-ish reissues from the '00s, Korean-made, and that whenever one comes up, there's never a precise ID. Looks like even Aria have forgotten what they are, as there are no catalogues featuring this exact model. Closest I can find is a 2005 SB40A - bolt neck, active, although pickups & hardware are different.

 

And for a moment there, I thought I was having some sort of weird flashback.

 

Which turned out to be correct...

 

 

Anyway - if it's cheap, I'd buy it if I was you.
