Ibanez SR Prestige 5-String Bass – Desert Sunset Burst
Elite Japanese Craftsmanship with Modern SR Performance
The Ibanez SR Prestige 5-String elevates the iconic Soundgear design into true boutique territory. As part of the renowned Prestige line, it represents the perfect fusion of cutting-edge manufacturing and meticulous Japanese craftsmanship. Built for bassists who demand premium playability, tonal nuance and uncompromising reliability, this instrument delivers a world-class experience whether on stage, in the studio or on the road.
S-TECH Roasted Maple Neck for Ultimate Stability and Feel
At the core of this model is the Atlas-5 HP neck, crafted from S-TECH Roasted Maple and Walnut for superior stability, enhanced sustain and improved resilience to temperature changes. The S-TECH Roasted Maple fretboard adds articulate attack, well-balanced tone and a smooth, velvet-like feel. Prestige Fret Edge Treatment across the medium frets ensures a friction-free playing surface, supporting rapid movement and effortless expression across all 24 frets.
Boutique-Style Nordstrand Big Singles with Sonitech 3-Band EQ
The SR Prestige 5-String features Nordstrand Big Single pickups, the go-to choice for full-bodied, aggressive single-coil character with superb clarity. Their elegant wooden covers add a touch of boutique sophistication. The Japanese-built Ibanez Sonitech Preamp then expands your tonal palette with a 3-band EQ, two selectable mid-frequency banks, a 3-way Hexa Mid selector (six total mid options), and a passive tone control for full dynamic control in either active or passive mode. This is one of the most versatile and expressive EQ systems ever fitted to an SR bass.
