The SR Premium is the Ibanez bass made for the working pro. Building on many of the Prestige's high-end appointments, this SR is crafted by our Premium facility in Indonesia. Super-smooth hand crimped frets, built-in-the-USA Nordstrand "Big Single" pickups, and the Mono-Rail IV bridge are just some of the features that set this instrument in a class far exceeding its reasonable price. The premium fret edges are processed to be specially rounded for smooth play and comfortable neck grip. Ovankol top lamination gives the bass a premium feel along with a strong presence. Nordstrand "Big Single" crams as meaty a single coil as can fit in a soapbar style pickup, producing a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that's characteristic of single coil pickups. The EQBIIISC is a customized 3-band EQ and a dedicated preamp for Nordstrand pickups for further pure and wider frequency response. This preamp system is equipped with an EQ bypass switch and a mid-frequency select switch(250Hz or 600Hz). Gigbag included.
Ibanez's 7-string collaboration with Steve Vai, and its result, the 7-string Universe, marked Ibanez as the leader in 7-string guitar building. But it wasn't until the 90s, and the explosion of the alternative metal scene, that the instrument's possibilities began to be explored by a wide range of players. By the time other guitar makers woke up and smelled the 7-string coffee, Ibanez had eaten their lunch. To this day, Ibanez is the only guitar maker that can claim decades of 7-string guitar building success. The Edge-Zero has a sharp knife-edge for extremely accurate tremolo playing. This tremolo also uses Ibanez innovations to keep string action constant and the bridge surface smooth. The specially designed arm socket prevents unnecessary wobble from the arm while providing full control over the arm's torque. The USA-made EMG® 707 active pickups are designed specifically for the 7-string, built clearly articulate the full range- low B on up to the highest high. The Barless Top-Lok eliminates the need for a retainer bar to maintain string tension. Through its simple design, it holds the correct angle for the strings without one. The metal-injection molding process means that all the edges remain smooth, so you won't hurt your hands. Case included.
The RG is the most recognizable and distinctive guitar in the Ibanez line. Three decades of metal have forged this high-performance machine, honing it for both speed and strength. Whether you favor a hardtail (fixed) bridge or our industry-leading locking tremolo system, the RG is a precision instrument. Refined fast Prestige Wizard neck offers better grip, feel and tone - 18mm width at 1st fret and 20mm at the 12th. The ZPS3 is the next stage of zero point systems. Made of lightweight Duralumin, the addition of two outer springs makes the guitar easier to tune and provides much greater tuning stability. In fact, the other strings will stay in tune even if you break a string. If you prefer a full floating tremolo setup, simply remove the stop bar.
