1984 Aria Pro II RSB Deluxe 5-String, (Used)

The 1984 Aria Pro II RSB Deluxe 5-String is a rare Japanese-made bass from the Matsumoku era, known for its solid construction and vintage character. It features a bolt-on maple neck set into an alder body, giving it strength, sustain, and a classic midrange punch. The fretboard is rosewood with 24 frets, offering a full range of notes across a 34-inch scale length. 

Electronically, this bass is equipped with SB-900–series components: it uses two humbucker pickups and offers both individual volume and tone controls. It includes a three-way pickup selector and toggle switches for coil tapping and “dual sound” modes, giving the player a wide palette of tonal options. 

The hardware on this model is distinctive, with a large solid brass bridge that contributes to its sustain and resonance. It balances weight well (around 3.1 kg), making it comfortable for long playing sessions. As a five-string bass introduced in 1984, it's considered one of Aria Pro II’s early extended-range models and is prized by collectors for its rarity and build quality.
