This bass features top-of-the-line hardware. The truss rod, which can be adjusted on the side of the body, is titanium reinforced. Furthermore, the bass features Gotoh locking tuners, a Black Tusq comb, and a monorail bridge for superior intonation. Ibanez also chose to equip the Soundgear Premium SR1300 Natural Flat with a pair of Nordstrand Big Single pickups.

Nordstrand pickups

Of course, we wouldn't be doing this bass justice if we didn't mention the sound. The loud, aggressive Nordstrand pickups delivers a nice yet sparkling punch that makes this something akin to a souped-up j-bass. This Ibanez bass also features a 3-band preamp, and along with a mid-frequency switch, it also has an EQ bypass switch so you can easily enjoy the natural sound of the Nordstrands. If you're looking for a sound that can be used across genres, then the SR1300NTF is the way to go.
