Professional players and gear reviewers alike have been singing the praises of the SR Premium series since its introduction, and this includes the Ibanez SR1300E. Crafted by the Ibanez Premium luthiers, the SR1300 shares many of the high-end appointments of the much-respected Prestige line. This extraordinary attention to detail manifests itself in features like super-smooth hand-crimped frets, and the Ibanez Mono-Rail bridge-- an ingeniously designed unit that kills off unwanted sympathetic vibrations while isolating and optimizing favorable string harmonics.

The SR1300's Mahogany body combined with an elegant Ash and Walnut top creates a solid, well-balanced tone. The 5-piece Atlas 4 neck consists of alternating layers of Panga Panga and Purpleheart, providing a striking visual detail, not to mention neck stability for years to come.

In spite of this impressive hit list of exotic materials, this Premium bass stays true to the original SR concept- being surprisingly light in weight--a noticeable contrast to the instrument's thick sonic character. That big, bold, tonal personality is due largely to a pair of Nordstrand Big Single pickups--the kind well acquainted with boutique instruments. No matter what musical texture is desired, the Ibanez Custom 3-Band EQ, with EQ bypass and mid-frequency switch, will get there fast.

I bought this on a 12 month plan. Right out of the box it was in tune, with very little need to set up anything I plugged and started to play it. Hands down worth every cent I paid for it! The only thing I wish it would have came with was some stickers (for pasting on stuff) and a book for the electronics. This is my second bass from Ibanez and for sure will not be my last! I am thinking about getting the SR5000 in the near future.
