What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Mahogany body with figured maple top Highly resonant with smooth highs and mids
Nordstrand Big Single pickups Crisp and clear bass tone
Jumbo frets Makes bending strings easier
Mono-Rail V bridge Allows strings to vibrate fully; great stability

Professional players and gear reviewers alike have been singing the praises of the SR Premium series since its introduction, and this includes the Ibanez SR1400E Bass. Crafted by the Ibanez Premium luthiers, the SR1400 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 SR1400's Mahogany body combined with Figured Maple 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 was in a bind a couple years ago where a bass died on me while playing a show and I had another show in 5 days. I have always been an Ibanez guy, so I ordered this bass on a whim because I needed it quick. Not knowing the feel or tone, I took a chance and this has been BY FAR the best bass I've ever played. I ended up giving up music a while back and just decided to pick it back up. I am purchasing this bass a second time, because the sound is unbeatable and it is EXTREMELY light.
