I once played the Cliff Burton bass at a music store and it is the best bass I've ever played

I have an Aria Pro ll SBR60, Japan 1982 and I very similar to that Cliff Burton bass. I have to say it's an awesome bass and very versatile for just one pickup.

I would be awesome if Aria reissued this model for those of use who missed it during it's first production run.

I used to play a Aria Pro II Thor sound, and many years later I heard this guitar tone, and I thought "well that definitely rings a bell"... I don't know what they have or how they do it, but it just pushes me to believe their instruments are quite unique in sound : the guitar was Aria make too... As for the quality, well... I started with that fretless bass I mentioned, and never got put off it one sec, even though the perspective of a fretless could be intimidating to some. It definitely was a treat.

If I'm not mistaken Cliff actually played a SB R-60 Black n' Gold and not a SB-1000 so for those who want a bass like Cliff I'd suggest looking for a SB R-60 and not a SB-1000 if your trying to get extremely close to his Master of Puppets tone

im getting one of these. We got it for 5,000$. A music store in California held one back and kept until now. it has never been played or modded, and is the last new aria black n gold on the planet. of some 250 black n golds this one is the last of it's kind.

@@charlielucas3386 there are no rip-offs nor knock-offs of Aria Pro II instruments as I know, but there really are neglected or sometimes mislabelled models (as there is no model on SB-series, but it is easy to recognize) - and there are the ones with replaced pickups or some other parts. There are genuines with repaired pickup, but I always saw it labelled by the seller. sometimes there are SB with completely wrong pickup or hardware, but those are easy to spot ar SB hardware are pretty unique. There are groups on facebook (Aria Pro II SB basses) where you can find a lot of info. And SB-1000 is very unique in its appearance - first (batwing), second or newer versions, so it is easy to find. I bought 15+ SBs online and I never had a problem, all sellers were friendly and truthfully, I restored them and pick the best for myself, as I can`t afford big collection (as I wish), so even this 1983 will go soon. But I didn`t came to solicitate! There are few Aria Pro II SB basses in action, so check these videos.

Cliff used two different Aria sb models actually. In 85 where he got endorsed by Aria the first bass they sent to Cliff was an Aria Pro II SB-1000 in a gloss black finish which are pretty rare to find. That bass has an active pickup (needs two 9V batteries) and includes a third knob to change mid frequencies I think. Then later in 85 (like around fall) he was given the Aria Pro II SB Black n Gold which just has a passives pickup and the same specs shown in this video. The SB-1000 has the dot inlays while the SB Black n Gold has the cat eye inlays. Also to mention that the SB black n gold model is just based of the Aria Pro II SB-R60 with same specs and everything but in a black finish and gold hardware

Pickup placement is a huge factor in bass tone. I've had one and I could never get it sound like a single pickup Aria. If you’re chasing that single pickup Aria tone, just buy a single pickup Aria

@Lithuania8634

The necks are thinner than most basses. This bass was made with that idea.

"The range of tones from it is quite impressive" Shows exactly two types of tones.
