Aria Bass Query? Looking to find info on old bass

Hi all. I have trawled the net looking for pics, but can't for the life of me remember the Aria bass I had around 20 years ago. I wasn't really a "bass player" at the time, more a side gig I had so bought a semi decent bass and sold it not too long after the band finished up. I should have kept it.

 

It was a 5 string Aria Pro II, active, similar in shape but not exactly the same as the SB100 / SN900. Fairly sure it was a screw on neck, had a similar headstock as the SB100, and was a natural finish. I think it had 2 pickups, but can't remember to be honest, as I used to just plug in, turn everything to 10 and play. I wouldn't have been very knowledgeable at the time about the ins and outs of gear.

 

It wasn't expensive. I bought it used at the time, but it was a solid enough bass. 

 

Anyone know what I am on about and could identify the model?

The bolt-neck from the '00s SB range was an SB40, & according to this 2005 catalogue there was a 5-string, (SB40/5, not pictured) so maybe that.

Can only find a couple of pics of any model of this bass online, obviously not too common!

Good to see some pics, it's definitely part of the early '00s SB range although not one I could find info on.

 

Might be an idea to ask on the Aria Pro SB Basses FB group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/196371477217872

 

Mostly they cover the classic 80s Aria basses but occasionally the more recent ones come up, and there are some very knowledgeable folk on there.
