Wanted: Aria SB1000 bass

[speed2dirt]

I'm looking for an older Aria SB1000 bass. If you know of any for sale, please hook me up with the info. I wouldn't mind looking into other Matsumoku-era Aria models also that are neck-thru with active pickups and brass nut/bridge (i.e. SB900).

*Or if you know any dealers that are selling the new SB1000CB or can import from Japan, I'll take that too. Thanks!

Hey, you can buy the Reissued version from this German online store :
http://www.soundland.de/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/240980/name/aria+sb-1000+cb+reissue

Really good store. I got only positive feedback about them.

I think you could contact them and try to get a lower price, as they had a special deal on this model few months ago (it was less than 1800 euros).
The good thing if that you buy from them, you can have the VAT refund or something.

Otherwise, I remember I think this Cliff Burton reissued is also available from USA sellers through Ebay, you could also check there.

Man, if you have the money, just buy it!!!

Otherwise, if you don't want to waste so much money, you could check the ARIA SB 404 : Ovankol body, Maple/nato Neck-thru, Rosewood fingerboards and active pickups. Seems to be a good "first-price" choice for a Neck-thru model.
I saw that bass for 350 euros in a Finnish store.
