Ibanez's SR Series has got to be one of the premiere bass guitars on the market today. This has been a 'go to' bass for so many years. My bass player in an early band I was in had an SR and it sounded awesome. Soundgear basses will continue to bust out the crushing grooves in all styles. I was playing heavy metal and it was more than capable in that regard. So here we are almost in 2010 and Ibanez is offering up an array of different SR Soundgear models. I especially like the neck-thru-body but they also have fretless and left-handed. These are great heavy metal basses and rock basses as well. The Ibanez company is known for making guitars that dominate the realm of heavy music.

The wood of these superb bass guitars is prominent in the design and look of these basses. 5 strings are the norm but you can even get a six string bass. Yeah! My old bass player had an Ibanez 5 string bass and it was handy to have that extra bottom sometimes. The SR's narrow neck is perfect for 5- and 6-strings. This gives great playability and physically comfortable to hold and play. Everyone who has ever desired a quality bass can afford an SR with pro features. They aren't that expensive. Great price , great quality Ibanez bass!!
The Ibanez SR series is a great line of bass guitars with many models to choose from. Notable models are the Ibanez SR600 Prestige bass with its lightweight ash body, rosewood fretboard, medium frets, Abalone oval inlay, Jatoba/Bubinga neck, & humbucking pickups. Ibanez SR750 with its classic 4 strings, mahogany and body/walnut top, Rosewood fingerboard and medium frets. The Ibanez SR4000E is a more expensive model. Its made in Japan and delivers balanced, clear tone. Mahogany body and 5-piece wenge/bubinga neck, easy to play, great dialed in tone.
The Ibanes SR Series on bass guitars are known for thinner necks with thinner nuts. They are lightweight, balanced, and have comfortable contoured bodies. The EXF angled pickups are set for equal spacing between pickup to string for balanced output levels. GSR models with high output pickups offer famous Soundgear pro comfort and playability. And super important is the reasonable pricing on these axes (yup cheap bass guitars). The are pro basses that the financially disadvantaged can take advantage of.

I have and old Ibanez 8907163 bass guitar in excellent condition. Would it be worth anything if I tried to sell it?
