Post a pic if you can - not familiar with an 'Image'.

Good source of APII info & knowledgeable people here:

I can't believe I came across this chat looking to age my bass I acquired two year ago.

 

Serial number 7101346 Xrb bass.

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.

That plate makes it a late 80's, early 90's Korean model....I'm a bit late to the party I know😉

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 ?

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.
