Jerry_B Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 After reading all this I'm wondering what particular type of pointy Pro II I bought in 1988. I don't have it any more but a mate of mine may still have it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 What's the story behind that? I always wondered how instruments end up bolted to pub walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Toye Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Got an Aria Pro 2 bass , serial no 1110966. Made in Japan. Any idea year anyone?? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 What model is the bass, & is the number stamped on a neckplate? The 70s 'Steel Adjustable Neck' plates have numbers which appear to be random and cannot be dated. Info & pics would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I'd start with going to the pictures, then out for a nice meal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazpaint Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 On 15/02/2010 at 19:01, noelk27 said: Six digit serial numbers date from the 70s, covering '71 through '80. Seven digit serial numbers date from the 80s, covering the period '81 through '90. The first digit gives the year. Yours is a seven digit, starting 7, making it a 1987. There weren't many models in the XRB series, but what ones were manufactured appeared between '87 and '89. To the best of my knowledge these were manufactured in Japan, although Aria did move a large portion of its production to Korean at this time, '87 onwards. So what year is my sb900 bass serial number 008144 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Edge Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 My TriSound TSB 650, serial no. 119064 with Matsumoko stamped neck plate was dated November 1979, production number 64, by some Aria guru on Talkbass a few years ago. 1979 would appear correct as the headstock shape changed from Fender style 4 on the side to the more familiar Aria style 2+2 in 1980 along with a name change to Thor Sound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted yesterday at 12:32 Share Posted yesterday at 12:32 I guess you want to know the year of manufacturing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted yesterday at 12:42 Share Posted yesterday at 12:42 If it's the year, it's 1981, but are you sure it's really an SB700 as models are not that easy to spot correctly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
