This is the iconic Aria Pro II SB-RSZ Rudy Sarzo signature model from the late 1980s. This professional-grade bass features a luxurious 5-piece Maple and Walnut thru-neck construction with a brass nut for incredible sustain. Originally passive, this unit has been upgraded to an active EMG pickup and circuit system (2-Volume, 1-Tone), mirroring the high-end SB-LTD specifications. The see-through red finish paired with gold hardware remains visually stunning. The original bridge ensures easy string changes. Please note the truss rod cover is missing and knobs are replaced with metal versions. The neck is currently straight. While it shows minor cosmetic wear consistent with its age, it remains in great condition. Includes a soft case for transport.
The Aria Pro II SB (Super Bass) series is a legendary line that defined the "Japan Vintage" era, favored by masters like Cliff Burton and Rudy Sarzo. The SB-RSZ is the signature model for Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Whitesnake), known for its compact, ergonomic body shape compared to the standard SB-1000. This specific instrument has been modified with EMG electronics, a popular "pro-spec" upgrade in the 90s to achieve a cleaner, low-noise output similar to the flagship SB-LTD models. Its thru-neck design is a hallmark of Japanese craftsmanship from the Matsumoku era's influence, offering unparalleled access to upper frets and rich tonal resonance.
