The Aria SB series bass Guitars are very sought after instruments now and are quite rare. I can remember going to the local musical instrument stores in London in eighty two and recalling the price of a brand new SB1000 retailing at £649.00
In 2005 I bought the double pick-up SB elite II in metalic blue for £349.00 (original)
And I have recently viewed a SBR 150 for £ 899.00 @ the bass cellar in tin pan alley
London. THE SBR 150 is an SB1000 with two pick ups and Zebra wood front and back
On eBay a Black SB elite I sold for £499.00 aprox 6 months ago.
About a year ago I viewed a single pick up CB (CARDINAL SERIES BASS) @ Rockbottom music store in croydon retailing at £ 189.00
In general I would say that single pick up SB series sell between £250-500
and double pick up SB made between 82-85 £300-900 + all depending on how much
the buyer is willing to own a very well crafted great sounding instrument.
My description of the sound of the SB series basses by ARIA would be for the single
pick up a tighter fender precision and for the double p/u very fat and chunky.
They sound like Alembics and they feel just as accuarate & proffessional unlike alot
of the basses that are produced now and sold for the price that you can by an original SB for.
