Highfox Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Did a bass swap before the New Year and picked up this Aria SB 1000B re-issue. Always wanted one and was a little scared about picking up one of the older ones reading so much about them having pick up problems. This one is a joy to play, love the ebony board and the low pass filtery type pre-amp. having the 2 octave neck is also nice. Weights in a fairly comfortable 4.4kg. Hopefully I can get to use it in anger... Got practice next week, think I'll take it along. Anyone else out there got one of these? 26 Quote
pnefc42 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Very nice! Had an original SB1000 in black for many years when I was gigging in an 80s New Romantic tribute band. Looked (and sounded) the biz & never had any issues with it. Enjoy!! Quote

No but I keep seeing them in one of the Denmark Street shops and I really want one. Unfortunately they don't do them left handed which is odd considering the originals came in left handed and Aria are usually pretty good to us. 1 Quote
