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.
