Aria Pro II SB-CLB Cliff Burton Signature w/Gigbag Limited Edition For 2026 Only

A Tribute to the Legend

The Aria Pro II SB-CLB Cliff Burton Signature Bass faithfully recreates the legendary SB-1000 "Black 'n Gold" bass that Cliff Burton played during the early years of Metallica—an instrument that helped shape the sound of heavy metal.

Every detail has been carefully recreated to capture the tone, feel, and appearance of Cliff's original bass. From its iconic body shape and neck-through construction to the legendary B.B. Circuit and solid brass bridge, the SB-CLB delivers the unmistakable sustain, punch, and tonal versatility that made the original SB Series one of the most respected basses ever built.

This is more than a collector's piece—it's a professional instrument built to perform while honoring one of the most influential bassists in music history.

Limited production for 2026 only.

Legendary B.B. Circuit

One of the defining features of the original SB Series is the famous B.B. Circuit, giving players remarkable tonal flexibility with a simple turn of the Attack Mode control.

The six preset positions alter the frequency of a low-pass filter, allowing you to quickly move from deep, thunderous lows to articulate mids and aggressive cutting tones—all while preserving the unmistakable character of the SB Series.

Whether you're chasing Cliff Burton's iconic sound or creating your own, the B.B. Circuit offers an impressive range of professional-grade tones.

Built for Sustain

The SB-CLB features Aria's original QHB-1BR solid brass bridge, engineered to maximize sustain, resonance, tuning stability, and vintage SB tone. Combined with the neck-through-body construction, this bass delivers exceptional note definition and incredible sustain across the entire fretboard.
