Built with a mahogany body and loaded up with Nordstrand Big Single pickups, the Ibanez Premium SR1825 5-string bass delivers massive and customizable tone.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Maple top Long sustain with crisp, bright tone
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
Nordstrand Big Single 5 pickups Large-format single-coil design for huge tone
Mono-Rail V bridge Allows strings to vibrate fully; great stability

The Ibanez Premium SR1825 5-String Electric Bass has a Mahogany body combined with an elegant Walnut and Flamed maple top creates a solid, well-balanced tone. The 5-piece Atlas 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.

"Beautiful Instrument but Needs Fret Edge Fix"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I own 3 Ibanez SR basses; an SR500, SR505, and SR1825. I bought an SR505 last year and found that it had the same sharp fret edges that my SR500 has. I love the SR bass shapes, tone, neck feel, and light weight but the fret edges are so sharp it makes the instrument playable for 30 mins max before my forefinger feels like sandpaper from all the microcuts. I splurged for the higher quality SR1825 because one of the features is "Medium frets w/Premium fret edge treatment." To my disappointment I found that the fret edges were no better than those on the lower priced SRs. I did not return the SR1825 because all the other features and beauty of the instrument make it a keeper, however, Ibanez really needs to fix that issue. Now I have to pay my luthier $100 to fix the issue. It makes an otherwise fantastic bass an instrument I spend more time looking at than playing.
