Ibanez Premium SR1320SB Electric Bass Guitar - Icebreaker Wave Flat

A refined fusion of boutique aesthetics, exotic tonewoods and high-performance engineering, the Ibanez Premium SR1320SB elevates the iconic SR series into elite territory. A striking sandblasted ash top over an African mahogany body delivers bold visual character alongside a wide-spectrum, articulate voice. Nordstrand Big Break pickups supply a powerful split-coil growl, while the Atlas 5-piece panga panga and purpleheart neck—finished with Ibanez’s Premium fret edge treatment—provides a fast, broken-in feel right out of the case. From detailed studio sculpting with the onboard three-band EQ to commanding stage tones in passive mode, the SR1320SB delivers a polished, top-tier experience for demanding modern bassists.

Sandblasted Ash Top and African Mahogany Body for Rich, Articulate Tone

The Premium SR1320SB pairs a sandblasted ash top for clarity and snap with the warmth and sustain of an African mahogany body. Together, these tonewoods produce a balanced, full-range response with tight lows, focused mids and crisp, defined highs. Lightweight yet resonant, the body remains comfortable for extended sessions while providing a solid foundation for the articulate output of the Nordstrand pickups. The contoured SR body shape further enhances ergonomics, allowing fluid access across the fingerboard for fingerstyle, slap or pick techniques.

Atlas 5-Piece Panga Panga/Purpleheart Neck for Stability

The Atlas 5-piece panga panga/purpleheart neck incorporates KTS titanium reinforcement rods for enhanced stability, sustain and resistance to environmental changes. Its slim, fast profile encourages confident hand positioning and effortless movement across the scale. Paired with a panga panga fretboard, the neck delivers a tight low end, focused midrange and crisp high-end attack, while medium frets with Ibanez’s Premium fret edge treatment ensure smooth, comfortable playability. The result is precise articulation, accurate intonation and long-term comfort for both intricate passages and aggressive grooves.

Nordstrand Big Break Pickups for Aggressive, Flexible Tone

Nordstrand Big Break pickups give the SR1320SB a punchy split-coil voice in a streamlined soapbar format, delivering full-bodied tone with low-noise performance. They provide a muscular, aggressive sound while maintaining clarity across the entire range. Ibanez Custom Electronics add a three-band EQ with a three-way mid-frequency switch for detailed tonal shaping, while an EQ bypass option enables passive operation with the treble knob functioning as a global tone control. This flexible setup supports a wide range of musical styles and performance needs.

Gotoh Tuning Machines and MR5S Bridge for a Dialed-In, Stage-Ready Setup

High-quality Gotoh tuning machines offer smooth operation and reliable tuning stability, while the MR5S bridge allows adjustable string spacing of ±1.5 mm for personalized feel and technique. The bridge’s solid construction enhances sustain and note definition, complementing the expressive tonal range of the SR1320SB. Together, these components deliver consistent performance and a responsive playing experience.
