Ibanez SR Series Bass Guitars

Arguably the most famous and popular Ibanez bass guitar line, the Ibanez SR Series offers a modern alternative with a comfortable double-cutaway body and a slim neck. The SR Series features a range of bass guitars for all budgets, from entry-level to high-end Prestige models. However, they all share core design philosophies that focus on fast playability, comfort, and versatile tone. The series includes 4-, 5-, and 6-string models, as well as fretless and multiscale designs.

Key Features Of The Ibanez SR Series

SR bass guitars are known for their slim, modern, double-cutaway body shape with beveled edges. This allows for a comfortable fit against the player's body and reduces fatigue during long performances. Body woods vary by price point and model, but can include mahogany, nyatoh, alder, or more exotic woods like bubinga and poplar burl on premium models.

A cornerstone of the SR series is its thin neck profile, which many players find easy to navigate for fast playing. The neck is often a multi-piece construction (e.g., maple and walnut) for added stability and brighter attack.
