For decades the 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.

Features

* The 5pc Roasted Maple/Walnut neck is heat-treated to increase stability, durability, moisture resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.
* A Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.
* Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes.
* The Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound.
* Nordstrand™ "Big Break" pickups cram a meaty split coil into a soapbar-style pickup, producing a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that's characteristic of single coil tone with noiseless performance.
* The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is their 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 favourable bass tones.
* The MR5S bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist's specific string spacing needs.
* The EQ bypass control offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.
* The 3-way Mid frequency switch allows players to choose from 3 Mid Frequency options and provides great tonal variety.
