Ibanez Premium SR1320SB AVL Electric Bass Aqua Wave Low Gloss

Premium SR Comfort with Aggressive Nordstrand Clarity

The Ibanez Premium SR1320SB AVL in Aqua Wave Low Gloss is a 4-string electric bass for players who want the slim, fast feel of an SR with a more powerful boutique-style pickup voice. The sandblasted Ash top gives the bass a striking textured look, while the African Mahogany body adds rich sustain underneath the bright, lively attack.

The Atlas-4 5-piece Panga Panga/Purpleheart neck is reinforced with KTS titanium rods for added stability and sustain. A bound Panga Panga fretboard, 305 mm (12”) radius, 24 medium frets and Premium fret edge treatment keep the playing surface smooth and accurate, whether you are locking into fingerstyle grooves, moving quickly across the neck or digging into more technical lines.

Nordstrand Big Break pickups give the SR1320SB a full-bodied, aggressive voice with punchy split-coil-style weight and clear single-coil-like definition. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ adds precise bass, mid and treble shaping, with an EQ bypass switch for passive operation and a 3-way mid frequency switch for targeting 250Hz, 450Hz or 700Hz.

The MR5S bridge allows +/-1.5mm adjustable string spacing around 19 mm (0.75”), while Gotoh machine heads provide smooth, accurate tuning. A gig bag is included.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Premium SR is best for bassists who want a sleek, low-gloss instrument with punchy Nordstrand tone, flexible active/passive control and fast modern playability.
