Reviewers have been singing the praises of the SR Premium basses since their introduction in 2011. Designed for the working pro, these instruments incorporate many high-end features and components without the boutique price tag. The Ibanez SR1405TE is one of the latest examples of what makes the SR Premium models such an outstanding value.

This stylish 5-string begins with a beautiful flamed Maple top/Mahogany body combination that produces a robust, full balanced tone. The Vintage Natural Flat finish allows the body to resonate more freely and creates an understated look of elegance, but the big news is the 5-piece Wenge/Bubinga "Neck-Thru" construction. Running from the top of the headstock, down to the lower strap pin, the "Neck-Thru" design increases sustain, improves tuning stability and allows unfettered access to the highest frets. Sustain and string vibration are also optimized by the ingenious Mono-rail IV bridge.

Super-smooth, hand-crimped Medium frets on a Rosewood fingerboard make this handsome bass as enjoyable to play, as it is to look at.

For electronics, the SR1405TE-VNF comes loaded with two Nordstrand "Big Single" passive pickups. Designed to create a full, aggressive sound, Big Singles produce a powerful low-end without sacrificing the articulation associated with single coil pickups. Additional sound shaping is provided by an Ibanez EQB-IIISC 3-band EQ. Pound for pound, the SR Premium is the working pro's clear choice.

"wasn't sure what to expect"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
When I ordered the Ibanez sr1405te bass I wasn't sure what to expect. I liked the fact that it was a neckthru bass and it was 5 string. That was the reason I was considering this bass. I originally was looking at a btb1405 which is also a 5 string neckthru with a slight difference, Which was the neck. The neck on the btb basses are thicker than on the sr1405te which is what I really love about the sr1405te. Anyway I was really impressed with my order and was glad that I did decide on this bass. The sound and quality of this bass is great and I've been playing it a lot. Very very happy with what I got.
