Precision Crafted with Premium Materials
Ibanez makes some very fine instruments, and the Premium SR2400 bass is no exception. Ibanez chose a mahogany body for warmth, low-end impact, and rich sustain. Its top of figured maple and panga panga offers a striking look that also enhances your tone. And the 5-piece panga panga/purpleheart neck with KTS titanium rods doesn't just provide striking visual detail, but it's also incredibly strong to resist warping and twisting over the years. The neck is capped with a silky-smooth panga panga fingerboard, graced with abalone oval inlays. In spite of these impressively exotic materials, this Premium bass stays true to a foundational element of the SR concept: that of being delightfully lightweight — an ironic contrast to this instrument’s girthy sonic character.
Big, bold tone from Aguilar pickups
Fingers, thumb, or pick — regardless of the musical genre, the Premium SR2400's electronics have you covered. A pair of Aguilar pickups delivers huge, round bass tone with rich, solid character. You also have the powerful sound-shaping potential of Ibanez's Custom 3-band EQ, which gives you control over boost/cut for bass, mid, and high frequencies, a mid-frequency switch to fine-tune your midrange, and an EQ bypass. No matter what tonal texture your music calls for, this instrument's superb electronics will get you there fast.
Mono-rail bridge enhances definition and sustain
At Ibanez, there's genius in the details. Like the Premium SR2400's innovative Mono-rail 5S bridge with locking saddles, which allows each string to fully vibrate without any interference from the other strings. That means that no matter how fast you play across the strings, each note will ring clear and true. Optimized note separation is but half the story. The Mono-rail bridge design also maximizes string vibration transfer to the body, which enhances sustain.
Ibanez: a brief history
Ibanez began its life in 1908 as the Hoshino Gakki company in Nagoya, Japan. However, the company didn't get into the guitar business until 1929, when they started importing Salvador Ibanez guitars from Spain. In 1935, Hoshino Gakki began building Spanish acoustic guitars under the "Ibanez Salvador" name, which was later shortened to "Ibanez." Although Ibanez began manufacturing electric guitars in 1957, the company was relatively unknown in the West until the 1960s, when they started producing guitars based on American designs. By the late 1970s, Ibanez had stopped producing derivative guitars and had begun manufacturing the original designs that the company is now known for. Ibanez is also famous for their effect pedals (most notably the Tube Screamer) and guitar amplifiers.
