Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for jazz and funk?
The SR1350B DUF is explicitly optimized for jazz and funk with its passive pickups, 3-band active EQ, and tonal flexibility. The Iceman is not recommended for jazz or funk due to its aggressive active electronics and metal-oriented voicing.
What's the key playability difference?
The SR1350B features a slimline neck profile designed for comfort during long sessions, while the Iceman has a slightly wider neck (21mm to 22mm) with an aggressive offset body. The SR1350B also includes premium fret edge treatment and titanium reinforcement for stability.
How do the pickup and EQ systems differ?
The Iceman uses dual active Nordstrand Big Break pickups with a 2-band active EQ for surgical modern cuts. The SR1350B uses passive Nordstrand Big Single pickups with a 3-band active EQ and bypass switch, allowing both vintage simplicity and modern shaping depending on your needs.
Is the B-Stock Iceman a good value?
Yes—B-Stock means cosmetic imperfections only with zero impact on playability, tone, or structure, making it a genuine price advantage for the Iceman's aggressive specifications.
