The Aria Pro II RSB-900 was essentially the wide-nut version of the SB-1000 and comes from one of the best Japanese bass ranges to ever come out of the Matsumoku factory.
A series favoured by bass legends including Cliff Burton, Jack Bruce and John Taylor, the RSB-900 was a neckthrough build with an ash body, a smooth maple/walnut transmit neck (and heel-less cutaway) and a rosewood 24 fret fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays. Weighs just over 4.6kg's.
Wide 47mm brass nut with a reasonably slim neck profile, it's loaded with the original dual coil pickup, 18v BB circuit and 6-way rotary switch along with master volume and tone controls. Appears to be all original inside and out.
Good used vintage condition as pictured with only a few light bumps and some rusting/patina on the hardware. Given a restring and basic setup/service prior to listing, the neck is straight and the truss adjusts well, the frets are shiny and play smoothly. Two brand new 9v batteries were installed and it's sounding great.
