SR1346B Premium 6-String Electric Bass Guitar

Since its introduction, the Ibanez SR Premium series has garnered the praises of professional players and gear reviewers alike. Developed by the Ibanez Premium luthiers, the SR1346B series shares many of the high-end appointments of the highly regarded Prestige line.

An extraordinary attention to detail is manifested in features such as super-smooth, hand-crimped frets. The Mono-rail 5S bridge enables a wider intonation adjustment range, and each isolated saddle is securely locked to the body, providing maximum vibration transfer with minimal sympathetic string interference.

The main feature of the new bridge is the adjustable saddles that can be altered for various string spacing. Ibanez developed the bridge in an effort to meet the needs of various player who want different string spacing. The saddles can also be easily adjusted to widen or tighten the string spacing by + / -1.5mm. 

The Ibanez SR1346B’s African mahogany body, combined with an elegant ash/panga panga top, creates a solid, well-balanced tone. The 5-piece Atlas neck also features alternating layers of panga panga and purpleheart, which provide a striking visual detail, not to mention neck stability for years to come.

Aside from its impressive hit list of exotic materials, this Ibanez Premium bass stays true to the original SR idea: being surprisingly light in weight—a noticeable contract 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 that are 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, gets there fast.
