The SR400FM, of which the highly figured flamed maple top really stands out on stage, is a perfect example of what makes Ibanez the leader among bass-builders! Even a quarter century after its introduction, the achievement of the SR continues to resonate throughout the bass world. Ibanez accomplished what other bassmakers could not: an instrument heavy in tone, but light in weight. Add to that the thin-neck technology providing amazing ease-of-play and limitless possibility, and you can understand why Ibanez goes unrivaled in terms of player comfort and musical performance.

The 5 piece Maple/Rosewood neck assures stability. The punchy CAP EXF N2 pickups are set in an arched configuration that mirrors the string height shape, providing equal string-to-string distance relative to its pickup. The EQB-IIID is an improvement on the concept of simple and well-balanced 3-band EQ control. Boost and cut of Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones. The Accu-cast B300 bridge locks solidly to the body-its walls and channels effectively "trap" the saddles, ensuring perfect directional uniformity with maximum string vibration. And the B300's design also ensures that string changes and saddle height adjustments are easy and efficient.
