Aria RSB618/4 4 String Bass Guitar Black
Aria Guitars was established more than 60 years ago. Today they are a truly international brand with a wealth of acquired expertise and experience. Aria’s core values have remained steadfast throughout and today they continue to build musical instruments with their trademark excellence, quality and value.
This is the Aria Pro II RSB-618/4 4-string electric bass guitar.
The RSB series originally debuted in the 1980s. The series continues to this day captivating and inspiring bass players all over the world.
The RSB-618/4 is a solid body electric bass guitar with the RSB’s traditional deep cutaway enabling unimpeded playability at the higher neck position. The extended upper horn adds to the balance and aesthetic of this fine instrument.
The electronics are passive and feature a pair of single coil pickups in a Jazz Bass style configuration. Controls are simple yet effective with a single master volume, tone and balance knob.
Beautiful Black finish. While the RSB 618/4 may appear to be Aria’s take on the Jazz Bass, it retains its own style and personality. It’s got a retro look that is sure to turn some heads. Passive electronics with two- J style pickups. Master Volume and Tone and Balance control.
The Body is Basswood – light weight and resonant. The Maple neck with its 24-fret Maple fretboard is a six screw, bolt-on design that offers incredible stability and rigidity. The sinister yet elegant Black gloss finish is perfectly complimented by an anodized gold pickguard.
The Aria RSB-618/4 is the perfect bass guitar for any player who’s looking for an instrument different to the traditional designs, something with an “edge”.
