The SR140SE boasts a five-piece wenge/bubinga neck spanning 24 frets over a smooth rosewood fingerboard. An attractive maple top coupled with a dark-sounding mahogany body yields a warm and well-balanced sound, a pair of Nordstrand Big Single 5 pickups capture your playing in pristine fashion, and a Mono-Rail IV bridge keeps your strings secure with locking saddles. EQB-IIISC 3-band EQ control, a mid-frequency switch, and an EQ bypass switch all help you to maintain the best-sounding output your fingers can deploy. Let this beautiful Ibanez bass inspire your playing to new depths!

Sleek Maple and Mahogany Body

The SR shape of your Ibanez SR1405E Premium's body rests comfortably against your front, and the smooth contour also gives off a cool modern look. Maple will yield a pleasant rounded brightness when you take this bass for a walk, and mahogany will really push the low and middle frequencies for a warm and dark sound. Mahogany is also a great aid in bringing a little extra sustain to the game.

Addicting Five Piece Wenge/Bubinga Neck

Having that extra fifth string means the door is open wide for greater melodic possibilities. The SR1405E's five-piece wenge/bubinga neck spans 24 frets long over a smooth and silky rosewood fingerboard. Each fret welcomes your fingers by yielding a comfortable action to help your notes ooze read more right into each other. Ibanez guitars are sought after for their necks -- and once your fingers get a hold of this melodious appendage, they'll be addicted for life.

Nordstrand Big Single 5 Pickup Pairing

At the bridge and neck are a set of Nordstrand Big Single 5 pickups ready to take in your playing and forge some serious earth-shaking bass tone. Both pickups capture the warmth and resonance of each note, and no matter how low you go, you won't find any low-mid mud with these babies.

EQB-IIISC 3-Band EQ: Maintaining Tonal Control

You can never have too much control of your sound. That's why this bass is fitted with EQB-IIISC 3-band EQ control. Whatever sound you're looking for, you'll find it -- or get at least within reach -- with these three knobs. You also have a mid-frequency switch to select where you want your mids to punch through -- 250 Hz for a girthy low-mids sound, or 600 Hz for a more growly edge. Along with a EQ bypass switch, you get a pickup balancer dial to get the right mix of each pickup for your output.

Attractive Gold Hardware

Anchoring all five strings down is this bass's Mono-Rail IV bridge and secure locking saddles. This bridge offers greater sustain and longer periods of playing without having to worry about tuning. The gold hardware in your SR1405E Premium will steal eyes your way, along with keeping everything secure and always ready to hit the stage, recording studio, or rehearsal space.

This bass is great!!!! Ibanez put so much craftsmanship in their premium basses. I've played them for years and have not been disappointed. The look, tone and feel are irresistible. The only improvement I see would be a separate battery compartment. I've NEVER had to contact the manufacturer. I own 4 basses, which I play. Never had any technical problems.

Musical Background:

I've been playing for about 20 years
