Unleash the Power of Your Music with the Ibanez Premium SR1600B Bass Guitar

Crafted with care and precision, the Ibanez Premium SR1600B Bass Guitar delivers stunning performance and tone that is sure to make you stand out in any musical setting. Boasting a beautifully crafted African mahogany body and a striking poplar/burl top, this 4-string bass guitar is a true work of art. With its rock-solid 5-piece panga panga/purpleheart neck, you get the perfect balance of durability, playability, and style. This boutique-quality instrument is designed to provide you with everything you need to achieve your musical goals and more.

Massive Roaring Tone with Nordstrand Big Single Pickups

The Ibanez Premium SR1600B Bass Guitar is equipped with a pair of Nordstrand Big Single pickups that deliver massive, aggressive tones that are infused with monumental sustain. These single-coil pickups feature a "super-packed" coil and are considered to be the "tonal giant" of Nordstrand's pickup offerings. Whether you're playing fingerstyle, with a pick, or using your thumb, the SR1600B's electronics have you covered. With Ibanez's Custom 3-band EQ, you get complete control over boost/cut for bass, mid, and high frequencies, a mid-frequency switch to fine-tune your midrange, and an EQ bypass. Whatever tonal texture your music calls for, this instrument's superb electronics will get you there fast.

Mono-Rail Bridge Enhances Definition and Sustain

The Ibanez Premium SR1600B Bass Guitar features an excellent Mono-rail 5 bridge that enhances your playing with astonishing clarity and sustain. Unlike single-body bridges, each Mono-rail saddle is completely separate from the others. This unique design minimizes sympathetic vibration and prevents unused strings from ringing. Each saddle is double-anchored, allowing energy to transfer efficiently between the string and the body. This results in a bass guitar that delivers crisp and well-defined tones that are sure to impress.

Premium Features for Unmatched Playability

The Ibanez Premium SR1600B Bass Guitar is designed for unmatched playability. The 5-piece neck is titanium reinforced, ensuring that it remains straight and stable under any playing condition. The premium tuners and Mono-rail bridge make tuning and intonation a breeze. The bound panga panga fretboard with abalone oval inlays and medium frets with premium fret edge treatment ensure that you get smooth and fast playability. And with Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut, you get excellent string stability and sustain.

Experience the Ibanez Legacy

Ibanez has been crafting exceptional musical instruments since 1908, and the Ibanez Premium SR1600B Bass Guitar is no exception. The company began building Spanish acoustic guitars in 1935 under the "Ibanez Salvador" name, which was later shortened to Ibanez. Today, Ibanez is known for its innovative guitar and bass designs and its famous effect pedals, including the Tube Screamer. At Irvine Art and Music, we are proud to offer the Ibanez Premium SR1600B Bass Guitar, a testament to Ibanez's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
