Aria Bass knob - longshot request

Paul_CPaul_C Frets: 7086
in Bass

Any chance anyone has a spare SB900 knob lying about ?

It looks like one of these :

1980 Aria Pro II Matsumoku SB700 Neck Through Electric Bass Made in Mojo Stompboxes

I'm after a pickup too, but there are modern replacements available.

    I have two on my old SB1000 but I’m not selling... :(

    Just posting to say.. nice bass.   I assume the neck is as great as the one on mine.

    I have two on my SB-R60 as well, and definitely not selling .

    Very hard to find. Your best bet would be to find someone with an Aria with one missing knob, and offer a new pair of knobs of their choosing plus any necessary financial inducement...

    I've seen worse. There have been some hideously butchered examples on Ebay, sadly.


    To reverse the question a bit... does anyone happen to have an SB-R80 they might be willing to sell?

    I should point out that the bass in the picture above is not the one I'm working on, it was just a good shot of the type of knob I'm after.

    I'll keep looking, but it looks like he'll be disappointed.

    I managed to find someone in the US who makes replicas, so I ordered one - only £19 inc. shipping.

    Pickup ordered from Aaron @ Kent Armstrong.

    Pray, do tell.

    Enquiring minds on this side of the Atlantic Ocean might be interested in contact details for that maker. ;)
    Be seeing you.

    Likewise. Very useful.

    Too bad you didn't want an old Westone knob, I have one or two of those...
