DISC Ibanez SR1405 Premium 5 String Bass, Glacial White

Full Description

An Eye-Catching Design

The SR1405 Premium is a part of Ibanez's gloss-finish Premium SR basses, featuring a figured maple top with a mahogany body to give it its unique look. The stunning maple top provides a clear attack, while the mahogany body delivers a warm, fat low end. As well as visual aesthetics, the SR1405 offers comfortable contours and a double cutaway design, allowing full access to the whole fingerboard.

Neck & Fingerboard

The SR1405 Premium has a 5-piece panga panga/purpleheart neck which offers comfort and stability, and will not not warp or twist over time. The SR1405 also features a panga panga fingerboard, which is a more sustainable tonewood than the commonly used rosewood. Panga panga is very similar to wenge and rosewood in both looks and tone. This substitute tonewood adds warmth and resonance to the overall tone, and provides a smooth platform for the left hand.

Nordstrand Big Single Pickups

A set of single-coil "Big Single" pickups deliver a full-bodied, aggressive tone, whilst retaining its clarity for the ultimate single-coil tone. In order to produce incredibly huge, loud sounds, the ''Big Smile'' pickups are designed with the biggest coils they could fit within the soapbar cover, resulting in the perfect jazz bass-on-steroids tone.

3-Band EQ With EQ Bypass Switch

One of the most unique features of this 5-string bass guitar is the 3-band EQ, featuring an EQ bypass switch to shape and craft the tone of your guitar with maximum control. With controls over treble, mid, and bass, the 3-band EQ lets you to mould every nuance of your sound to find the perfect tone for your playing. The bypass switch flicks between the original and affected tone, letting you experiment and create a range of tonal possibilities.

GraphTech Black Tusq Nut

Unlike other basses from Ibanez, the SR1405 Bass features a black Tusq nut from Graph Tech. Tusq is impregnated with PTFE, a slippery substance that reduces the binding grip the nut has on the strings, transferring the strings vibrations efficiently to the guitar. Players can achieve a balanced tone with increased harmonics, along with clear highs and open lows.
