Custom Ibanez SR1400T Through Neck Premium Bass Guitar with Nordstrand Pickups

If you're after a professional quality neck thru bass that will not break the bank this Ibanez SR1400T offers amazing value for money. Quite often even at this price you need to choose between hardware, quality of build or type of build. This flips it and gives you everything you will ever need in a lightweight bass at a great price.

Atlas Neck and The Premium Fret Treatment

One of the main differences between the standard and premium series basses comes with the neck and its construction. This neck has a slightly different profile that Ibanez call 'Atlas' it feels a little bit thicker than an normal SR neck but it is still on the small side. It is also made of a 5 piece mixture of wenge and bubinga which means that the neck is not only strong and stable but also resonates with the lower frequencies fantastically. Finally the neck has also gone through the Premium Fret Edge treatment, this rounds off the frets so you get a smoother playing surface and a more comfortable neck grip.

Soundgear Beauty

The Soundgear body shape is one of the most popular body shapes in the world at the moment with those that love lightweight and thin basses. It also helps that when given the Ibanez touch it can be absolutely stunning. The SR1400T is particularly beautiful especially if you are a fan of lighter woods. While the wenge/bubinga neck runs through the body the wings are made of mahogany with a stunning flame maple top that is quite close colour wise to the mahogany. Not only do these woods sound great they look great at whatever gig you may want to perform at.

Premium Hardware

As this is part of the premium series this bass has to have top notch hardware. The Nordstrand Big Single pickups and EQB-IIISC preamps are made to work specifically with each other and with this bass. These pickups are creamy thick sounding single coils that can really get aggressive when you dig in. One of the coolest things about the preamp is that you can turn the active EQ on or off at a moments notice if you need to change your sound to a more natural tone quickly.
