SB SERIES
SB is probably the most famous bass we've ever made.The new SB series was developed to meet players' demands of SB with a lighter body, whilst capturing the classic SB style and feel. As a result of responding those requests, we used the maple neck-thru design, an active EQ and a preamp. Great see-thorough colours and SB 'eye' position marks make this bass unmistakably one of SB family! SB303 offers a bolt-on neck option and features Aria 'soap bar' pickups, a 5-way selector switch and active circuitry. Both SB 303 and 505 can be strung either through the body or the tailpiece to provide a different playing feel and tone. Taking the classic SB body shape and using bolt-on neck construction we can offer the entry priced SB40.
Options include active circuitry and fretless or 5 string necks, providing the best possible start to anyone new to bass playing and an affordable introduction to 5 string or fretless playing for the more experienced bassist.
SB-1000RI
The original SB-1000 swept the world with its striking looks and amazing tone. Now, it backs by strong demand, SB-1000RI has established a new reputation as a modern classic. This bass has the original B.B. circuit makes your sound more definite in a band.
Neck-Thru-Body
The original neck-neck-thru- body is made by our skilled craftsmen using traditional guitar building techniques. The Heel-less cutaway allows you smooth and easy access even at the highest frets.
 
B.B. Circuit
Many of the world's most famous players used SB and in particular they loved Aria's original B.B. circuit. The active electronics have an incredibly low noise level which makes a good combination with pickups have clear and pure tones.
