Headstock shows some very light surface marks and wear, but is otherwise very clean. fretboard shows some very minor wear along the edges, but is otherwise very clean. Frets show some very minor wear along with a few very minor divots on the 1st-3rd frets, but otherwise they are in excellent condition with no issues and tons of life left in them Hardware shows a fair amount of age, pitting, and some light tarnishing, but is otherwise all in good working order.

Unlike its active sibling the SB-1000, the SB-700 is entirely passive, meaning it does not require a battery. The series\/parallel toggle switch paired with the passive tone knob allows for deep, aggressive punch and throaty mid-range harmonics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eConstruction:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Neck-through-body using a multi-ply maple\/walnut neck with ash body wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eScale \u0026amp; Frets:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 34-inch standard scale length with 24 frets (two full octave) and a heel-less cutaway for easy upper-fret access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eHeadstock:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e The iconic early \"batwing\" style headstock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003ePickup \u0026amp; Electronics:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e A single passive MB-1E double-coil humbucking pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003eControls:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Master volume, master tone, and a dual-sound series\/parallel switch that drastically shifts the tonal profile from thick and mid-forward to scooped and bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aria Pro II","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43351967137890,"sku":"011014-AH","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9057\/files\/sb700-1.jpg?v=1790109938","url":"https:\/\/coastsonic.com\/products\/1980s-aria-pro-ii-sb-elite-ii-super-bass-neck-through-rudy-sarzo-sb-rsz-made-in-japan-copy","provider":"Coast Sonic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
