Ibanez SR1206E Premium Electric Bass

The SR1206E Premium electric bass is the Ibanez bass made for the working pro. Building on many of the Prestige's high-end appointments, this SR is crafted by their Premium facility in Indonesia.

Super-smooth hand crimped frets, built-in-the-USA Nordstrand "Big Single" pickups, and the Mono-Rail IV bridge are just some of the features that set this instrument in a class far exceeding its reasonable price.

The Nordstrand "Big Single" crams as meaty a single-coil as can fit in a soapbar-style pickup, producing a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that's characteristic of single-coil pickups.
