The Aria Pro II RSB-600 was the wide-nut model from one of the best Japanese bass ranges to ever come out of the Matsumoku factory. Favoured by bass legends including Cliff Burton, Jack Bruce and John Taylor, the RSB-600 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 4.7kg's.
Factory loaded with a MB-II double-coil pickup with a volume/tone control along with a dual-sound toggle. Wide 45mm brass nut with a reasonably slim neck profile.
Very clean vintage condition as pictured with only a few light bumps and some rusting/patina on the hardware, it seems all original. 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.
