Ibanez Revamps SR1350B Basses for 2023
Ibanez has revealed three new SR1350B models to its SR Premium line for 2023. The four, five, and six-string versions of the bass now sport a new top and finish for a refreshed look.
The combination of top woods blends walnut, panga panga, and maple. Combined with the new Dual Mocha Burst flat finish, the basses take on an earthy aesthetic.
The new SR1350B, SR1355B, and SR1356B retain all other features from their predecessors. Each has a five-piece panga panga and purpleheart neck that’s reinforced with KTS titanium rods, Nordstrand Big Single pickups, and an Ibanez 3-band EQ complete with a mid-frequency switch.
The Ibanez SR1350B Series Premium Basses will ship this year with street prices of $1,399, $1,499, and $1,599.

I hate these fake NT basses. I’ve always been a SR fan but now I can’t stand the way they look…
