SB SERIES
SB is probably the most famous bass we've ever made and the new SB series was developed to answer players' requests for an SB with a lighter body, whilst capturing the classic SB style and feel. We have achieved this by using the maple neck-through design in the SB 505 and active E.Q. and preamp. Great see-thorough colours and SB 'eye' position markers make this bass unmistakably one of the SB family! The SB303 offers a bolt-on neck option and features Aria 'soapbar' pickups, a 5-way selector switch and active circuitry. Both the 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-1000JT
The ultimate SB-1000 designed by Duran Duran bassist John Taylor. This model is based on the SB-1000RI but with some very special modifications. John chose to replace the original gold hardware with black and changed the bridge to the Gotoh J510.
Neck Through Body
The original neck through body is made by expert craftsmen using traditional guitar building techniques. The Heel-less cutaway allows smooth and easy access even to to 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 perfect match for the pickup's clear, pure tone.
