lapolpora Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Aria Pro II SB1000 for sale. 1983, oak finish and in nice condition. When I bought this bass a few years ago it’s preamp and wiring loom had been stripped out. I bought a replacement preamp from Carl Maltby, and a Rautia replica pickup. (The bass has its original pickup but has never been tested. As I was about to spend a load restoring the bass I just didn’t want to take a chance on it). The preamp, Rautia pickup and new wiring was installed by Feline Guitars (Croydon) with guidance from Carl Maltby. Feline Guitars also polished and levelled the frets - and it all turned out very well. Everything else on the bass is original and as you’d expect. The original pickup will be included in the sale. It comes in a Warwick Rockbass gigbag. Collection preferred. Selling as I need to cull the herd and I can’t find playing opportunities for two SBs!

Deedee Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I can vouch for the work of Carl and of Rautia. Carl provided the replacement preamp and Rautia the replica MB-1E pickups for my SB- R150. Lovely bass. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Yes, but a wide strap negates any weight very nicely. I found my 4" strap makes light of this bass 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 You won't notice the weight playing such a beautiful instrument. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
