Gear Watch: Ibanez SRT Basses
Ibanez has built upon their already successful Soundgear line of basses with the new SRT models, featuring neck-thru construction to give longer sustain, brighter sound, and easier access to those higher frets than the traditional bolt-on necks. EMG 40DC pickups allow players to reproduce nearly any sound, from clean highs to dirty lows.
The SRT models also include 3D-contoured ergonomics, an arched top, and scooped back body give a good feel for comfortable playing. The SRT’s are available in both 4 and 5-string models and will be selling for between $899 and $949, depending on your choice.
Details for all SRT models:
- Maple/Bubinga thru-neck construction for super sustain
- Mahogany body with Figured Maple top
- US-made EMG pickups offer plenty of output with balanced tonality
- Ergonomic arched top with scooped back body
- Modern bass look equipped for modern sound
