SR4500: The SR Spirit with Premium Choices Focused on Performance

The SR4500 builds on the fundamentals that made the SR series renowned: ergonomics, immediate playability, and effectiveness in both stage and studio contexts. Here, Ibanez takes the concept further with a selection of high-end components designed for stability and precision (S-TECH roasted woods, meticulous fret finishing) and a modern pickup/preamp duo capable of shifting from a very clean sound to a more muscular tone without losing clarity.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

This bass is especially aimed at intermediate to expert bassists seeking a reliable instrument, finely adjustable and comfortable for long sessions. Thanks to the Nordstrand Big Single pickups and the 3-band EQ with mid-frequency selection, it excels in funk, rock, modern metal, pop, fusion, and gospel: the sound remains present, articulate, and easy to place in a dense mix.

Sound

The ash body provides natural brightness, a clear attack, and generous sustain: ideal for lines that need to "pop" without becoming harsh. The Atlas HP 5-piece maple/walnut neck (S-TECH treated) enhances stability and definition, while the roasted maple fingerboard emphasizes precision and quick response.

On the electronics side, the Nordstrand Big Single pickups offer a denser and more dynamic single-coil sound, with strong midrange presence and excellent note separation. The Ibanez Sonitech preamp allows for a range from very clean and balanced tones to more sculpted settings (targeted mids, sharper slap, punchier rock). The push/pull bypass is perfect for instantly regaining a more passive and direct response.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

For an identical replacement, this bass comes stock with D'Addario EXL165 strings (45-105). For transport, the recommended Ibanez IBB724-BK gig bag is the safest choice to accommodate the instrument's dimensions and shape.

Questions frequently asked

What sound do the Nordstrand Big Single pickups offer?

The two passive Nordstrand Big Single pickups, covered in wood, provide a marked presence in the midrange and good note separation. Their dense single-coil design promotes a snappy and defined attack.

Does the bass have a passive mode?

The Ibanez Sonitech 3-band preamp includes an EQ bypass via a push/pull control. The response then becomes more direct. A 3-position Hexa Mid selector allows targeting of mid frequencies when the EQ is active.

Is the neck suitable for fast playing?

With 19.5 mm thickness at the 1st fret, 38 mm at the nut, and 24 frets on an 864 mm scale length, the 5-piece maple/walnut Atlas HP neck favors a slim grip.

For which styles is the SR4500-DST suitable?

Thanks to the ash body, S-TECH roasted maple fingerboard, and 3-band preamp, this model is used notably in funk, rock, modern metal, pop, fusion, and gospel. The 19 mm string spacing also facilitates slap techniques.

Which strings and gig bag are recommended for this bass?

The original setup uses a D'Addario EXL165 set in .045/.065/.085/.105, tuned E-A-D-G. The Ibanez IBB724-BK gig bag is the recommended choice for transport.
