What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
5-piece jatoba/walnut neck Smooth feel; midrange bite
Bartolini BH2 pickups Tight bottom end, punchy midrange, smooth response
Flamed maple top Premium wood grain with bright, projecting tone
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain

The Ibanez SR875 bass is one of the most visually striking basses within the SR standard line. This bass features a Flamed Maple top and Mahogany body, as well as an Accu-cast B505 bridge. The Maple top produces a clear tonal attack while the Mahogany body delivers a warm and fat low end.

The principal feature of the Accu-cast B505 bridge is that the saddles can be adjusted for various string spacing. The bridge was developed in an effort to meet the needs of various players who enjoy different string spacing. The saddles can be easily adjusted to widen or tighten the string spacing by +/-1.5mm. It also offers precise intonation and delivers excellent string-to-body vibration.

The thin, sturdy, and stable Jatoba/Walnut neck offers superior playability when combined with the extended neck joint, making the upper frets easily accessible. The truss rod adjustment at the neck pocket allows you to easily fine-tune the neck without loosening the strings. The Ibanez Custom 3-band electronics and 3-way mid-frequency switch allow for precise tonal control with selectable mid-range EQ points at 250 Hz, 450 Hz, and 700 Hz. The Bartolini BH2 dual-coil pickups, with their lower resonant frequency, provide a balanced warm response, tighter bottom end, and a fuller midrange.

The smooth fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics, are engineered to satisfy the particular needs of bassists, as well as inspire their creativity.

This is my first Ibanez. The neck on this thing feels amazing. I love how compact the bass is while still delivering massive tone that can easily be sculpted to fit basically any genre. The finish is beautiful and on par with boutique basses I've played. Nothing negative to say about this bass. I was a little nervous about the 16.5mm string spacing, but even that can be widened to 18mm with the turn of an allen key. I thought long and hard before making this purchase. Im so glad that I did. This bass will stay with me for the long haul.
