That mounting looks pretty clever! I listened to "The point of doing nothing". Sounds legit to me! I like the middle breakdown section at 1:50.

Spotted this one today! Is Frank Maudsley playing a BnG? The cat's eyes look pretty clear, the truss rod and headstock shape too. What do y'all think?
Yeah. BnG I. It was hard to get a good look at the bridge with the guitarist dancing but I looks like a black base with brass saddles and screws.
I find it easier to achieve a good Rush style tone on my SB-1000 than on my Rick actually. Maybe Geddy Lee should have used one lol.
I apologize if this is a stupid question, but.....how do you pronounce "Aria"?
I pronounce it "ah-ree-uh". But some people on Youtube are pronouncing it "AIR-ee-yuh" or "ah-rye-uh".

You've stumbled upon the great controversy! In my opinion, this is more about how you want to pronounce "native" words. In other words, are you going to pronounce it like a Japanese person? Since I don't say "nee-kohn" when I say "nye-kon" (Nikon), I don't usually say "ah-ree-uh". I say "air-ee-yuh". I don't get too hung up about it. My good friend @ModuMan uses the more native version. I think the Bass Japan Direct guy (Danny) says "ah-rye-uh". It's all good! We're all loving the same beauties!
Hi Gents,
Did any of you see this? It looks like Aria Pro has released a SB700 reissue. Many years ago I took delivery of a GORGEOUS SB1000RI John Taylor in Paduak Red. The only issue was that there was a big crack at the volute near the head stock. @zuma tried to console me at the time but I ended up selling it to a nice fellow who had it repaired. It was a very rare SB as not many of the JTs were offered in red with the black hardware. It was a wonderful bass and I would love to pick up another SB1000 RI but this 700 looks great! I haven't been able to find pricing information but thought I would share.
Stay healthy y'all,
Brent

Sounds like you need to get one! Ha ha. Yes, we saw the news about these and discussed them some pages back, however, I haven't seen that particular video so thanks for the link!
I found my post about my debacle! What a cluster! @zuma . I wish I had kept pics.

I'm watching the "First Impressions" section of that SB-700 video and it sounds VERY Stingray to me. That's kind of disappointing. It sounds good, but not like an Aria SB-700 should. It doesn't have that woodsy bark I associate with a single pickup Aria. I wonder if the 1000s will have this same pickup.
That's another good question we still don't know the answer to. It would be a shame if they all used the same pickup. The 600/700 should have the MBII split coil P-type, right?
Hi, I just bought an Aria pro II CSB 380 but the output of the pickup is very very weak. When I roll off the tone I can just about hear something but even with the tone on full it's barely audible.
Before I go stripping everything out I would like to know if the Bass has been wired up correctly as it doesn't appear to be factory.ie, Someone has tampered with it.
Can someone either send me a pic of their own cavity on one of the Basses or guide me to a page where I can grab a Schematic?
Cheers

I posted my CSB-380 cavity quite recently. Check a few pages back.
EDIT: Ahhh, I see you're update post. I guess it's time to call Kent Armstrong!
