Ibanez Soundgear Series basses have been providing players with modern alternatives to classic bass designs since 1987. They have been popular thanks to their ultra-lightweight, smaller body with two cutouts and ergonomic shape, very fast neck with excellent playability and sophisticated electronics. Great sound is a given. The Premium moniker means that this is one of the highest end models produced in the Ibanez factories.
The body of this bass is made of solid African mahogany and the top veneer is a combination of ash and panga panga. Bolted to the body is a neck composed of five pieces of purpleheart and panga panga woods and fitted with KTS titanium bracing. The neck is fitted with a panga panga fingerboard, which features 24 Medium-sized frets that have been treated with Premium Fret Edge Treatment. Oval inlaid ear markers are used for orientation. The neck radius measures 400 mm, the menstruation corresponds to the figure of 864 mm, the width of the GraphTech Black TUSQ XL zero fret stops at 54 mm.
The instrument is fitted with two Nordstrand Big Single passive pickups. The Balance and Volume controls are used to influence the tone, and there is also a three-band equalizer, with which you can take away or add bass, treble and mids. The frequencies of the mids you want to adjust can be selected using the three-position switch (250, 450, 700 Hz). The active pickup circuit can be switched off using another switch, so you can use only the treble potentiometer as a tone shield.
The hardware is in black, the strings are mounted in an MR5S-type tailpiece, which means that each string has its own rail. This design helps to maximise the vibration transfer of the strings to the body of the guitar, and thanks to the use of a TUSQ faux ivory fretboard, perfect sustain is also guaranteed. The Gotoh GB707's precision tuning mechanisms with large pins allow for comfortable tuning.
The Soundgear Premium Series basses are really very refined instruments that will make each of your sessions or live playing a unique experience that you will want to repeat again and again. Once you've tried them, you won't want it any other way - great sound, breathtaking craftsmanship and hi-end electronics. All at a price that's guaranteed to surprise you.
