Ibanez first introduced the Soundgear bass in 1987. That same bass continues to be one of the world's most played basses. Why Because it is not the same bass. Certainly it's still the sleekest and sexiest. And with all SR models featuring active electronics, it's still the most tonally versatile. It still has the fastest neck. But they've continued to improve and update the Soundgear line.
When the Soundgear first came out, a highly compressed sound was popular. Now players demand a heavier sound with a more human touch. To accommodate these changes, they changed the Soundgear. And now the range of Soundgears is staggering - everything from the elite instruments you can see in the Prestige section to the new amazingly low priced GSR models.
