Ibanez SR Basses for Recording and Production

In the studio, a bass has to track cleanly and sit well under everything else. The Ibanez SR line is built around a slim neck and lightweight body, which helps over long tracking days when you are chasing one good take. The 4-, 5- and 6-string options cover everything from tight pop and rock lines to extended-range parts for modern production.

The tiers give you room to choose what suits your budget and your sessions. Standard, Premium and Prestige models, from SR300 to SR5000, let a home-studio owner start with a practical tracking bass or move up to a more refined one. The SR405EPBDX and SR1350B are two examples of what is currently listed.

For producers who want different tonal and playing options, Studio Gears carries a line that includes the SR Bass Workshop designs: SRFF multiscale, SRH semi-hollow, SRSC single-cut and SRC crossover. The SR Mezzo medium-scale adds yet another option. Browse the live grid below to see what is available.

Ibanez SR Bass Guitars - frequently asked questions

What does SR stand for on Ibanez basses, and what is the Soundgear known for?

SR is short for Soundgear, Ibanez's slim-neck, lightweight bass design that came to define the modern Ibanez sound. The family runs from the SR300 up to the SR5000 and is available in 4-, 5- and 6-string versions, so most playing styles are covered.

What is the difference between the Standard, Premium and Prestige SR tiers?

The SR line is organized into Standard, Premium and Prestige tiers, moving from accessible workhorses to more refined instruments. The SR405EPBDX represents the more accessible end, while the SR1350B, with its Dual Mocha Burst Flat finish, shows the styling of the upper tiers.

Are there Ibanez SR basses beyond the standard models, and are B-Stock units available?

Yes. The SR Bass Workshop adds SRFF multiscale, SRH semi-hollow, SRSC single-cut and SRC crossover designs, and the SR Mezzo offers a medium-scale option. Budgets range from entry-level to premium, and B-Stock units, which are open-box, discounted and fully covered, are part of the selection. Stock changes often.
