Appears to the be the highest end RSB (Aria Pro II RSB-1000) offered, and there's no info on it anywhere.

Current BIN is 12,001 yen ($150)

 

[Prostheta]

I would say that it looks like an SB-1000 with the RSB headstock. Any chance of a gutshot of the electronics?

<edit>

Aha. The images in the listing show a two-part cavity. Definitely an SB-1000 in disguise. It'll have 2x PP3s under there and what I guess will be an original v1 BB circuit.

 

[MaddAnthony_59]

Yep, I have an '81 SB-1000 with the same 2-Piece cover. (Single cavity under the cover though.)

I wonder what Shipping would be?

 

[Prostheta]

That is worth a lot more than $150 in the right hands.

 

[s3lggiW]

I don't think it's a SB-1000 with a rev headstock. If anything, it's a SB-R150 setup (minus a pup) with a rsb headstock. It seems pretty clear that that is zebrawood, and the inlays are a giveaway.

If they would ship to America, i think quote go $230+

From what I was told there was a RSB-900 model which was the same electronics as the SB-1000 but with different aesthetics (liek the headstock and fretboard) so perhaps the RSB-1000 is a fancier version of that model

On Tuesday I got home my last capture. A Aria SB 1000 made &#8203;&#8203;in 1979. I promise pictures.

Yes! Please include the Electronics Cavity. I have a '78 that I am considering bying. I'd like to compare with another.

And we are 1 step Closer to getting this Bass!

Has anybody ever wired their pickups straight to the pots? i never use the series switch, and i think one has died on my elite 2.

that's for sure, friend.

You need to post many pictures of the Bn'G CSB if/when you get it, never seen one before outside of catalogue pics!

CSB 450 or BnG. (They didn't make a BnG in '81, but the Black bass had the BnG hardware...)

 

[MaddAnthony_59]

Man! Look what I just found!

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

here,s my csb 380 from about 83 ish if I remember.

I scored a Slightly Modified '86 Pro II Heritage Laser Electric. There are a couple listed in the TB Classifieds if you can't wait until I post Pics tonight.

Someone put an Angled Strat Type input jack on it. The routing is Pro-Quality. But when they did that they had to move the PreAmp. So they Screwed it to the Cavity Cover. (There are 2 extra screws that I couldn't figure out.!) But the bass plays GREAT, weighs about 8 Lbs, and has Tones Up the Wa-Zoo! In Active mode it Growls in the Alembic/SB-1000/Warwick tradition. In Passive mode it's Thick & Thumping.
