Feast your eyes on this incredible Aria Pro II SB-R60 from 1981... This model is considered fairly rare and is highly sought after for its exceptional build and outstanding ability to perform. The bass features a neck-through design that is well thought out with a beautiful heel contour and smooth, fast neck carve. The body wings are crafted from beautifully grained select ash and the neck itself is a maple/walnut five-piece design. The 34" long-scale neck is graced with a tightly grained, well selected rosewood fretboard that is adorned with oval dot "eye" markers. The overall appearance of the bass simple and refined, yet still bold enough to capture the attention of any player or audience. Electronically the instrument has an effective layout with one volume and one tone controlling a single bridge humbucking pickup that features a mini toggle for series operation. The bass sets up very well and the neck, truss rod, tuners and saddles are in excellent shape operating well and fully. This monster is a players bass and has scattered dings, dents, scratches and scuffs,  but overall is pretty clean for its age and has been very well maintained. There is a chip on top of the lower horn, they edges have some dings and the back has some buckle marks and scratches. Plugged in the bass exhibits a full, deeply resonant tonality that is well defined and clearly articulated. This bass presents an exciting opportunity to own a finely crafted, premium piece at an appealing price that is well suited to all styles and skill levels.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS INCURRED (NOT CHARGES) WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
