Aria SB1000RI Bass OAK

Greetings. Here we have a very nice bass from the fine folks at Aria. THERE ARE ALWAYS VERY FEW in stock, and once they're gone it'll be quite a while before more are available!!! It's the Japanese made reissue of the 80's model & also now has the balanced body (w/ the tummy contour) so it's even more like the original.  I remember wanting one of these in the 80's and now that I've seen this one, I remember why.  This bass just has a very lively, full tone with exceptional playability. Those of you who are familiar with this bass know what I'm talking about. These were very popular back in the day and should still be today. This isn't the same type of instrument as the 200 Aria you saw at the local pawn 20 years ago. This is serious bidness, folks. A very well made instrument with top quality hardware, fretwork, and best of all, tone. To me, it sort of combines many qualities of other classics. Round like a P Bass, ringy sustain like a Ric, and fat and in your face like a Spector. And it all comes together easy because it's very comfy and effortless to play. Doesn't take much to get this one to tell you what you wanna hear.  Angry? It's in there. Funky? In there. Buttery and fat? Like Prego....... If it had a B string, it would be part of my family, and I'm as picky as they get.  This is a bad, bad boy and the last one we're gonna see for a long time. Even Aria themselves calls this "the most famous bass we've ever made". Made popular by Cliff Burton of Metallica (and many others) this bass just has great tone and playability all the way around. It'll come to you NEW, NOT AS A SECOND & includes their warranty AND PADDED BAG.  It features an ash body w/ 5-ply maple/walnut neck & ebony fingerboard, 24 frets, neck-thru heel-less body, 34" scale, MB-1E double-coil pickup, Volume x 1, Tone x 1, Tone Select Rotary Switch x 1, Bypass Switch x 1, LED x 1 , original B.B. circuit, Gotoh J510-B4 bridge, and it comes done up in their "Oak" finish.
