Aria Pro II is an international brand that has been active since the dawn of Japanese guitar making.
This model is the SB, Aria Pro II's signature model.
One of the greatest masterpieces in Japanese guitar history is making a comeback.
The SB has been a favorite of musicians around the world.
Bassists such as Marcus Miller, Willie Lee, Jack Bruce, and John Taylor are known to have used the SB.
This is the latest version of the SB they've always loved.
The neck-through construction features a 7-piece laminated maple and walnut neck.
The beautiful wood grain, running smoothly from the tip of the headstock to the bottom of the bridge, is exceptional.
The fingerboard is made of ebony.
The body is made of ash.
The body shape is designed with weight balance in mind; the bridge side of the body is actually thicker than the headstock side.
This shifts the weight balance toward the bridge, resulting in a comfortable playing experience.
The tuners are GOTOH GB707, and the bridge is also GOTOH's J510BO.
The GOTOH 510 bridge is their flagship model in the lineup.
The use of such high-grade hardware demonstrates Ariapro II's commitment and strong concept.
The pickups are dual-coil MB-1E.
The preamp is the familiar B.B. Circuit.
This circuit, which has captivated many bassists, is an active low-pass filter that allows you to freely switch between six different character settings.
The character can be changed with a switch, from a warm and thick sound to a bright and attacking sound.
Simple yet highly practical, it allows you to quickly create the perfect sound to suit your playing style and ensemble.
The filter can be turned on and off with a mini switch.
Controls include volume, tone, mode selector, and B.B. Circuit bypass switch.
It's characterized by its thick, attacking tone, and firm yet smooth sustain.
This is the SB.
Please give it a try.
GIB craftsmen will adjust it for ease of play before shipping it to you.
