The Aria Pro II SB-800 was a Japanese made bass that was one of the few SB models continuing the neckthrough legacy after the closure of the Matsumoku factory. Favoured by bass legends including Cliff Burton, Jack Bruce and John Taylor, the SB-800 features a Sen ash body, a smooth maple/walnut transmit neck (and heel-less cutaway) and a rosewood 24 fret fingerboard (42mm brass nut with a reasonably slim neck profile, 34" scale length). Weighs just over 3.7kg's.
Loaded with a pair of aftermarket Ibanez HI-B dual-coil pickups with independent volume controls and a master tone control along with two mini toggles to split the coils.
Good vintage condition as pictured with basic signs of wear and tear for its age and some surface rusting/patina on the hardware. Professionally re-fretted and given a professional setup/service prior to listing, the neck is straight and the truss adjusts well.
