The premium woods, meticulous craftsmanship and inspiring voice make the Ibanez SR1426B 6-string bass the perfect tool to refine your skills and achieve your creative vision.
Resonant Atlas Neck Reinforced for Stability
The slim 5-piece Atlas neck, reinforced by KTS TITANIUM rods, gives you the stability for confident fretting while promoting rich sustain. Constructed from resonant panga panga and purpleheart tonewoods, the Atlas neck delivers a balanced attack with full low-end punch. The TITANIUM reinforcement rods increase the neck's rigidity, providing the foundation you need for complex fingerings along the exotic flamed maple fingerboard. The Premium fret edge treatment creates a smooth feel across the medium frets that enhances your accuracy and facilitates speedy riffing. The Atlas neck offers the ideal combination of stability, smooth playability and singing resonance to inspire your best performances.
NordstrandTM Pickups Yield Signature Growling Tone
Outfitted with two Nordstrand Big Break pickups, the Ibanez SR1426B pumps out the powerful, growling tone that defines the modern SR bass. The split coil design in a soapbar format produces full low-end body, aggressive mids and detailed highs for a signature sound that cuts through a mix. Compared to traditional single coils, the hum-canceling Big Break pickups provide noiseless operation perfect for the stage. Whether you favor pulsing rhythms, soaring solos or anything in between, the Nordstrand pickups give you the muscle you need while retaining the clarity and snap that makes single coils shine.
Dial in Your Sound with Custom EQ and Mid Switch
The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ equips you to shape a bass tone all your own. The Mid frequency control targets two sweet spots in the crucial midrange, letting you boost or cut the frequencies that define your core sound. Navigate from deep, growling subs to sharp attack with the dedicated Bass and Treble controls. When you've created your perfect tone, engage the EQ bypass and passive tone circuit to enjoy the pure voice of the SR1426B. The global tone control on the treble knob provides broad tonal shaping that preserves the clarity of your sound. With the 3-way Mid frequency switch, choose the ideal mid character between 250Hz, 450Hz and 700Hz at the flick of a switch. The powerful EQ and smart switching give you the tools you need to craft your signature bass tones.
Built to Suit Any Playing Style
From its premium components to ergonomic design, every detail of the SR1426B is crafted help your playing shine. The fully adjustable MR5S bridge allows you to set the perfect string spacing, with saddles that compensate for playing dynamics. Designed for comfort, the contoured African mahogany body eases tension while the flamed maple top provides alluring visual flair. Sealed chrome die-cast tuners keep you in tune through any performance. With premium tonewoods, electronics and playability, the Ibanez SR1426B empowers you to push your skills to the next level.
