Description
Description of item
The SR model features a flame heather x Caribbean green coordination and plump low end.
Since our debut in 1987, we have continued to create SR -Soundgear- a bass that always matches the times by incorporating the voices of artists and the market, as well as trends in music and fashion.
The identity of the SR, which has remained unchanged since its inception, is that it is an electric bass with a ``compact body that fits the body, a slim neck, and a variety of sounds.''
Based on the concept of "Designed to Inspire", we are adding a new SR model to the Premium series, which aims to create gear that will inspire the player who holds it.
■Flamed Maple top / African Mahogany body
The 3D arched SR body uses African mahogany for the body and back, flame maple for the wing section of the top of the body, and a combination of flame maple and bubinga for the center section. Masu. This material was chosen for the rich mid-low range characteristics that are essential for bass sounds, as well as the attack and crisp high range characteristics.
■Atlas 5pc Panga Panga/Purpleheart neck with KTS™ TITANIUM rods
The 5pc neck is laminated with Panga Panga wood and Purple Heart wood, and KTS™ TITANIUM rods are used to increase neck rigidity and sustain.
A slim neck that produces a clear sound image and a sense of attack, and has been shaped to the ultimate in an easy-to-grip design for all players.
■Flamed Maple fretboard
We have chosen the rare and valuable flame heathered maple wood for the fingerboard.
The position mark is a blue oval shape.
(There are individual differences in the grain.)
■Premium Fret Edge Treatment
By applying spherical processing to the fret edges, the resistance of the fret edges to the fingers during fingering is reduced, achieving a higher level of playing comfort.
■Nordstrand™ Big Break pickups
Modeled after the excellent tonal character of the Big Single, the soap bar-shaped pickup adopts a split-coil structure with high noise-cancelling effects, creating a tighter high range sound and a boomier sound in the low range. This is a jointly developed pickup by Ibanez and Nordstrand™.
In fact, many SR models were originally equipped with two split coils, and this model is full of SR characteristics that inherits that tradition.
■Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch & Mid frequency switch
This is an equalizer that produces active sound with wide range and low noise. (006P alkaline battery powered)
By switching the switch, the midrange frequency band, which is the key to bass sound, can be changed to 250Hz, 450Hz, or 700Hz.
It is also equipped with an EQ bypass switch, allowing it to be used as a passive bass. (When bypassed: Tone control with Treble knob)
■Gotoh® machine heads
Gotoh machine head has a reputation for high precision, smoothness, tuning stability.
■MR5S bridge
The MR5S (monorail) bridge is equipped with a string pitch adjustment mechanism.
Each string has an independent bridge, which transmits string vibrations directly to the body.
Additionally, the saddle can be moved left and right by ±1.5mm, allowing the space between the strings (interstring pitch) to be adjusted within the range of movement.
You can make detailed settings to suit your play style.

from 18 reviewsVery quick mailing/delivery … packaged very thoroughly with abundance of bubble wrap 👍 the item in pristine condition… very easy and professional transaction… all the way from Japan even! Would definitely do business with them again.
Have done some test, love Takatsuki and also very responsive and trusted seller! Already bought 4 300b's of them and tested well with my RoeTest v11 professional tube Tester!
I bought this guitar and I am very happy with it. It had to travel half of the globe, but the shipping was fast and the seller answered all my questions via e-mail.
The guitar itself has a chunky Fretboard, but is playable with ease. As far I can tell, the electronics seem to be all good, stamp on the pickup is right, it needs more playing for further statements.
And to my biggest surprise: the guitar came almost perfectly intonated fresh out of box.
I highly recommend to at least get in touch with the seller if you're interested in one of his products.
