View Full DescriptionThe colossus of metal
David, meet Goliath. Ibanez have created something biblical with the SR1340B Premium. And it’s not just because of its ferocious looks. Mounted directly onto the mahogany body are two powerhouses built to make the earth shake. This is tone that legends are made of. Play with meaty, full-bodied bass sound thanks to Nordstrand’s passive single coils. Each pickup brings crunch and clarity, working to together for the ultimate in aggressive timbre. Down low you’ll find rumbling, gritty texture, whilst up high you’ll get bright, whistling tops that help cut through any mix. All with plenty of midrange punch in between. Get ready to slay this giant.
Mammoth tone with more to offer
This is not a one trick pony. The SR1340B Premium brings more to metal. Ibanez have introduced advanced electronics to their flagship bass. And the results are obvious. Effortless tonal sculpting that is equal parts simplistic and powerful. Take a look for yourself. Tweak you EQ with a 3-band equaliser that promises no nonsense control. Just great tone. Choose passive-only operation, boost your mids, or balance your treble. It couldn’t be easier. All controls are in one convenient to reach place, right next to your volume control. No more running across the stage to your amp. It’s all at your fingertips. Now reach out and grab excellence.
A bridge to perfection
Trust us, you’re going to be spending a lot of time getting to know this behemoth. And when you’re playing all night long, you need an axe that’s got stamina. Luckily for you, the SR1340B Premium is up to the challenge. And it’s all thanks to the MR5S bridge. Your strings are in safe hands, and your playing will benefit as a result. Alongside flawless tuning stability, each saddle can be adjusted to meet the detailed demands of each bassist. No matter what style you play, your bass will be singing like a bird. Or should we say, barking like a dog. The specially designed bridge helps improve your intonation, so whether you’re getting fancy up the neck or keeping the groove down low, every note will be perfectly in key.
Become the master of the beast
There’s no denying it. The SR1340B Premium is fearsome. Let it off the leash, and this beast might just bite as loud as it barks. But don’t worry. Ibanez make sure you’ve got plenty of control. You’re the master, and here’s why. The panga panga/purpleheart neck has been sculpted for comfortable playing, so you’ll never lose control on the fretboard. With premium edge treatment and medium frets, you’ll find finger positioning as easy as 6, 6, 6. Up in the higher register, and down by the nut. Each string is given the freedom to let out its inner demon. And you’re the ring leader.
