SR1105B Premium 5-String Electric Bass Guitar

Professional players and critics alike have been singing the praises of the Ibanez SR Premium series since it was introduced. Developed by Ibanez Premium luthiers, the Ibanez SR1105B series shares many of the high-end features of Ibanez’s much-respected Prestige line. Ibanez’s extraordinary attention to detail on this electric bass manifests itself in features such as super-smooth, hand-crimped frets and the Mono-rail 5s bridge enables a wider intonation adjustment range. Each isolated saddle is securely locked to the body for maximum vibration transfer with minimal sympathetic string interference.

The principal feature of the new bridge is the saddles can be adjusted for various string spacing. The bridge was developed in an effort to meet the needs of players who seek different string spacing. The saddles can be easily adjusted to widen or tighten string spacing by + / -1.5mm. 

The Ibanez SR1105B’s African mahogany body creates a warm, well-balanced tone. The 5-piece Atlas neck consists of alternating layers of roasted maple/purpleheart, providing a striking visual detail and neck stability for years to come.

Despite this Ibanez’s impressive list of exotic materials, this Premium bass stays true to the original SR concept—being surprisingly light in weight, a noticeable contrast to the instrument’s thick sonic character. This bass’ 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-frequence switch will get there fast.
