New Aria Pro 2 SB1000

[The Hammer]

My brand new Aria Pro 2 SB1000JT just arrived today!!

Heres a little history. Aria quit making the SB1000 in 1986. In 2003 they reissued three versions of the SB1000. The SB1000RI (reissue) which was exactly like the original, the SB1000CB (Cliff Burton Signature) which was all black like the one Cliff Burton briefly played in Metallic and the SB1000JT (the John Taylor signature) which is the same as the SB1000RI except the JT's has all black hardware. Aria USA in all of its infinite wisdom decided to only import the Cliff Burton model so the RI and The JT weren't available here only overseas.I gotta give a BIG thanks to hornytoad for helping me score this badboy!! Thanks HT!!

Very nice, that brings back my 4th grade memories of my elder sister and her Duran Duran posters...

John Taylor was a good bass player and that bass, oh man me wants one!

Very nice indeed. I see that they have changed the rear routing and added individual battery boxes. Otherwise it looks dead-on to my 1985 SB-1000.

Shiny! I need to polish mine up.
Way to go man, I have had mine for 24 years and it plays better today than when I bought it. Love the black hardware.

Are those SB1000 Cliff Burton basses still in production? Who is selling them in the States?.

Thanx.

According to Aria Japan they are still in production, but there's no sign of 'em on the international version of the site. However these guys have one.
