Cheeky 1979 Aria Pro II RB700N (Chris Squire Refinish) in Excellent Condition!

Through the years there have been many companies that have gone through a 'lawsuit' period where they have replicated almost exactly the model of another company's guitar, One company in particular that did this was Aria in the 70s.

As you can see this RB700N is very similar to another brand beginning with 'R'. Despite its controversial history this Aria Pro II is in very good condition and was professionally refinished whilst in possession of the original to look like a similar bass played by YES bassist Chris Squire. The previous owner also upgraded much of the bass's hardware and replaced it with hardware manufactured by the aforementioned 'R' brand. The Bridge pickup was also replaced with a Horseshoe Vintage Reissue Bass Pickup by the same 'R' Brand.

As is standard practice with all of our instruments that arrive in store (new or old) this RB700N has been through our in-store workshop with our professional on-site technician who has thoroughly checked & tested the instrument to ensure it is in tip-top condition for its new owner to tour the world with!

The Aria Pro II also comes in a vintage hard case with its original Tags, QC Certificate, as well as some documents from the original owner regarding the RB700N.
