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 SR1405 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 SR1405's Mahogany body combined with Figured Maple top creates a solid, well-balanced tone. The 5-piece Atlas 5 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.

This SR-1405 plays so well it takes my main bass spot. The pick ups are awesome and you have a choice of running active or passive. The finish is black flame maple fade to grey on top with layers of exotic tone wood underneath. The tone control with a mid frequentcy switch give you total control. In my sets, I may need a deep country clean piano tone and the next high end slap. In a matter of seconds I can change from one to the other by a number of ways. I also have a SR-1205 and the tone is naturally brighter because it is amateur all stain while the 1405 has a gloss finish and is a couple pounds heavier. The bridge is a great added feature in the Premium series. It is like separate bridge for each string. This along with the great tone, beautiful exotic woods, fast neck (with rolled frets edges), tuning stability, etc, etc, etc....make any of the SR Premium series a great choice when looking to find a new bass that will expand your playing style to new heights.
