Ibanez Introduces 2 New Natural Finish SR Model Basses

The Ibanez SR series changed the way basses were made and played and introduced the world to the most comfortable bass body and fastest, thinnest neck ever. Ibanez continues to perfect the formula with different woods, top-notch Bartolini electronics and more. For 2009, Ibanez debuts the SR780NT and five-string SR785NT, basses with striking spalted maple tops and all the trimmings but none of the expensive boutique bass price. The SR780/785NT (Natural finish) feature 5pc. Jatoba/Bubinga SR necks, mahogany bodies with solid spalted maple tops, Accu-Cast bridges, Bartolini pickups, and 3-band EQs. Ibanez continues to make the world-famous SR sound available to all bassists, whether they're on a tour bus or a tight budget. Model: SR780/SR785
