Hey guys I have an SB elite that I would probably sell but I'm looking for info on shipping to Greece (I've never shipped a bass out of the US) for mumra and a price for the bass. I don't know what it's worth so ball park ideas would be great. I think it's an 84 and it has little scratches by the back strap button and one "impression" roughly half of a pinky fingernail (on my tiny girl hands) on the belly contour. |

Mumra, are you looking for an original from the 80's? The reason I ask, ARIA is once again offering some 're-issue' SB basses, including the Black and Gold, even an SB five: http://www.ariaguitars.com/english/products/sb-blackn-gold-i?PHPSESSID=c1ad5edbca242a46354f023f943cc22f . . . . and Aria lists a Greek distributor, Emailto:panas@panamusic.gr J o e y |

Ok.Finally i see the aria in greece.It has some marks from all those years.Also it has a crack of the color between the neck and the 1st fret near the nut.I thin it is not a fretboard problem.I believe i will buy it. |

Thanks. Enzo i see this bass and I love it. But I can't give 650$. So I am waiting for better offer. The best price that i have now is the bass in Greece but as i said it has some marks and one that frightened me.My English sucks I know ...... |

Hey! You can find great deals on used Arias on the evil bay if you look hard enough. I got my current main onstage bass, an 81 lefty Aria SB, for $700! there's a couple of beautiful ones almost identical to cliff's, aside from the finish, for around $1250, on there right now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aria-Pro-II-SB-1000-Padouk-Red-WoW-/131182147806?pt=Guitar&hash=item1e8b10b8de http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aria-Pro-II-SB1000-/221417604565?pt=Guitar&hash=item338d8485d5 Hope this helps |

> Yeah those are the rarer ones. I mean, you can save a ton on the regular SB's and still get the killer tone if color is still important you can always send it in to get refinished. There's some great deals on those pro II SB's on ebay like mine, and a lot are vintage and in pristine shape- mine looks great aside from a small finish chip on the lower horn and a small finish crack right on the edge of the body. It plays like a dream. |

Thanks zero as I said I have seen one in my city for 300euros but it has a lot of marks.the problem Is that it has a crackle between the neck and the first fret.I believe that is a color crack only.all parts are original and I am thinking of it |

I think i'll give up.....I see many of them but all asks more money than the money I can give.I see basses with signs and scars and the sellers asks a lot of money. I'm still playing with my alembic and I am very happy.............. Keep "bass-ing" |
