The SR Series: A Modern Benchmark at Ibanez
Within the Ibanez universe, the SR (Soundgear) series targets bassists seeking quick playability and electronics designed for both stage and studio. This configuration, combining a 3-band preamp and a pickup mode selector, clearly embodies the SR DNA: a versatile instrument focused on precision, capable of shifting from a dense sound to sharper textures without losing control.
For Which Bassists and Styles?
This bass is aimed at beginner to intermediate players (and beyond) who want a responsive instrument, easy to adjust and flexible enough to cover multiple genres. It is especially suited for styles where the bass needs to remain clear: modern rock, pop, funk, metal, neo-soul, and any situation requiring a good balance between warmth and definition.
The Sound
The PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups deliver a modern character, with excellent note separation and dynamic response that highlights right-hand attack. The 3-band EQ allows quick shifts from a deep, enveloping sound to more present mids to cut through the mix, or brighter highs for slap and articulate parts. The 3-position switch (humbucker/coil tap/single) with bass boost is a real asset: you can thicken the low end, brighten the tone, or achieve a more incisive sound depending on the track. Finally, the mahogany body provides a warm and rounded foundation, while the SR4 maple/rosewood neck and rosewood fingerboard promote a balanced and musical response.

A very nice bass made in Indonesia, I admit I came across the charm of the Ibanez brand even for its first prices.
The most:
neat finish, a real manual, electronics with careful soldering, knobs with middle point except sound, arrived almost completely in tune and icing on the cake delivered originally with D\ 'Addario strings it totally changes me from my first Chinese bass.
The least:
For the moment none I admit to having used it little, for comfort being a beginner I will change the strings for a lighter 40-95 pull
Sincerely for the price, look no further, certainly more expensive than a Chinese bass but with the ease of paying in three times.
As usual, careful package, delivery times a bit long in this very special period and with the May holidays, thank you WoodbrassAutomatically translated

Very nice bass (the Candy Apple color is more beautiful in real life than in the photo), the quality of the materials is equal to the quality of the sound (Top for an instrument in this price range and which, therefore, gives total satisfaction).
Good physical/tactile feeling during use, if you add a correct amp, the adjustment options (Bass - Mid - Treble BOOST/CUT and Pickup Balancer) it gives a very pleasant game on a lot of registers.
The work on the electronics is clean, the maintenance instructions delivered with the bass are clear (and translated into French as well as other languages).
Bass that is suitable for a beginner as well as an advanced player.Automatically translated
