Aria Pro II SB-700 - Oak

Aria Pro II SB-700 Bass Guitar - Vintage Soul. Modern Performance.

Few bass guitars carry the kind of legacy the Aria Pro II SB series commands. Trusted through the decades by iconic players like Cliff Burton, John Taylor, Rudy Sarzo, Jack Bruce, and Marcus Miller, the SB-700 returns with modern refinements while staying deeply rooted in its original 1978 DNA.

Built around a neck-through construction with a silky-smooth heel-less cutaway, the SB-700 offers exceptional sustain, resonance, and effortless access to all 24 frets. The ash body delivers a punchy, articulate foundation, while the maple and walnut neck provides strength, stability, and unmistakable snap. Anchoring the tone is Aria’s original MB-10E pickup, delivering a powerful, full-range sound that easily shifts from tight and focused to bold and aggressive via the Dual Sound Series/Parallel switch.

Finished with vintage-inspired hardware, including the QHB-1 bridge and classic control knobs, the SB-700 isn’t just a reissue—it’s a statement piece that honors the past while performing flawlessly on modern stages and in contemporary studios.
