Ibanez SR1400R Premium Electric Bass (with Gig Bag)

No longer available at zZounds
Active electronics and Big Single pickups outfit the SR1400R with a massively thick tone that cuts through the live sound mix like a diamond-bladed machete.

Professional players and gear reviewers alike have been singing the praises of the SR Premium series since its introduction. 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've owned Ibanez guitar and basses from every Ibanez manufacture facility and the SR1400 Cort factory fit, finish, and feel is right up there with the FugiGen produced guitars. These basses are light but has tone for days, with the active/ passive switch the new Ibanez eq and the Nordi pups you can dial in most any tone you'll need. These are a great value compared to other basses within the similar price range.
