Ibanez Premium

The Premium lineup is renowned for delivering high-end performance and road warrior dependability at middle-of-the-road pricing.

Manufactured with select materials by dedicated skilled craftsmen, Ibanez Premium lines show you possibilities you could never have imagined, offering you Performance Beyond Expectation.

Top Notch Construction

The SR1605B features a Poplar Burl cap sitting a tarm a warm-sounding African Mahogany body, creating an exotic and boutique feel on the SR's arched curves.

Attached to the body, you'll find an Atlas-5 pc Panga Panga/Purpleheart neck, which provides tonal clarity and superior note attack with the Panga Panga fretboard.

In addition to this, its slim grip shape permits superior playability with the meticulous Premium fret edge treatment.

This neck is constructed with KTS TITANIUM reinforcement rods, increasing its stability and adding sustain, whilst the neck-end adjustment allows you to adjust the neck easily.

Versatile Tonal Options

Powering the voice of this awesome bass you'll find a pair of single-coil Nordstrand Big Single pickups, which produce a full-bodied, powerful and aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that's characteristic of single-coil pickups.

In addition to this, the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, EQ bypass switch, and 3-way midfrequency switch allow for precise tonal control (250 Hz, 450 Hz, and 700 Hz).

When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble-tone control knob acts as a passive tone control for the instrument's output.

Premium-Grade Hardware

The MR5S bridge is the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation with a wide intonation range.

Each individual bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference.

Other features include the BLACK TUSQ XL nut and the Gotoh machine heads. A gig bag is included.
