Description: Up for sale, a 1985 Aria Pro II “Super Bass” SB-1010 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced at the Matsumoku factory in Japan, this is a notably rare medium scale (830mm, 32.67”) iteration of Aria's enduringly popular SB-1000, crafted with a five-ply maple/walnut neck-through body paired with Canadian ash body wings. The SB series has been played by a pedigree of legendary bassists including Cliff Burton, John Taylor, Rudy Sarzo, Jack Bruce, and Marcus Miller. The smoothly sculpted neck-through body construction offers superb sustain as well as unbeatable access to the upper frets. The MB-1E ceramic magnet humbucker has ample output with a big, powerful low end response and plenty of punch, and the “B.B. Circuit” is an active EQ that provides six different shades of focused midrange for a broad tonal palette. Weighing 9lbs 4oz, this SB-1010 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with fresh 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
