For 30 years the Ibanez SR has given bass players a modern
alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavoring to
answer the wider needs of a variety of players, at a variety of budgets. But no
matter what the specs, the heart is the same-SR continues to excite with its
smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics.
Body, Neck, and Fretboard
The 5-piece Maple and Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack.
The Jatoba fretboard has a reddish brown color and produces a rich mid-range
with a crisp high end. Medium-sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes.
The Poplar Burl top features an exotic wood grain, and the Nyatoh body provides
a rich mid-low end.
PowerSpan Dual Coil Pickups
Developed by Ibanez, the exposed pole pieces of the PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups
produce a stronger signal and increase the response of the higher frequencies
without sacrificing the low end. The result is a tone rich in harmonic detail
and dynamic expression.
Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-Band EQ
The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is the latest refinement on the concept
of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the
Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation
that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones.
Accu-Cast B500 Series Bridge
The Accu-cast B500 bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by
about 1.5mm, answering every bassist’s specific string spacing needs.
3-Way Power Tap Switch
Accessed by the 3-way Power Tap switch, the pickups offer a choice of three
tonal personalities - a rich humbucker sound, a pure single-coil sound, or an
enhanced single coil sound - fattened by lows from the humbucker pickups.
