Ibanez SR1420B Premium 4-String Bass – Caribbean Green Low Gloss
Premium Craftsmanship with the Signature SR Feel
The Ibanez SR1420B Premium delivers everything players love about the Soundgear line – fast necks, lightweight bodies and ultra-versatile electronics – but elevated with boutique-grade tonewoods, precision fretwork and stunning aesthetics. Its Caribbean Green Low Gloss finish highlights an exotic Flamed Maple top, making it as visually striking as it is sonically inspiring. This Premium-series model is built for musicians who demand highly playable instruments with professional reliability.
Atlas-4 Neck: Stability, Speed & Sustain
At the heart of the SR1420B is the Atlas-4 5-piece Panga Panga/Purpleheart neck, reinforced with KTS™ Titanium rods for rock-solid stability, enhanced clarity, and long, even sustain. The Flamed Maple fretboard adds snappy attack, bright top-end presence and boutique-level visual appeal.
Medium frets with Premium Fret Edge Treatment ensure smooth, friction-free movement across the entire 24-fret range – perfect for fast technical playing or expressive melodic work.
Nordstrand™ Big Break Pickups + Ibanez Custom Electronics
Loaded with a set of Nordstrand™ Big Break pickups, this bass delivers powerful, full-bodied tone with aggressive midrange and tight low-end punch. These split-coil soapbar pickups offer single-coil clarity with hum-cancelling performance – ideal for modern high-definition bass tones.
The Ibanez Custom 3-band EQ with a 3-way mid-frequency switch allows surgical control over your sound, while the EQ bypass provides instant access to a passive, organic tonal character (using the treble knob as a passive tone control).
Premium Hardware & Performance Enhancements
The SR1420B is fitted with Gotoh® machine heads for exceptional tuning stability and smooth, accurate adjustment. The MR5S bridge enables adjustable string spacing (±1.5 mm), giving players complete control over feel and playability.
With black hardware and professional-grade components throughout, this model is exceptionally road-ready – musicians can expect reliability on any stage. A Premium-fit Ibanez gig bag is included for safe transport.
