    Difference between Aria SB R60 and Aria SB R80

    This also extends to the SB Elite I and SB Elite II, but what are the differences besides the additional pickup? They are apparently the same model, but is having the additional pickup going to alter the sound much? Would it be better or worse with two pickups?

    Rickenbacker 4003 or Aria SB-1000? (Or maybe Black n' Gold)

    I'm having a ton of trouble deciding between these two basses, which one should I go for? I really like both of their tones, and they're both at the tippy top of my price range. The Ricks seem like they are pretty temperamental, but what about Aria's?
