Ibanez - SR4500-DST Prestige Desert Sunset Burst + Etui

If you thought all basses were alike, the SR4500-DST will gently disabuse you. This Prestige model combines selected woods with advanced technology, such as the S-TECH maple/walnut neck. This treatment process improves durability and stability while optimizing natural resonance. And let's not even mention access to the high register, thanks to a perfectly profiled heel that lets your fingers wander freely towards the highest notes.

On the electronic side, it's a real little sound laboratory. The Nordstrand "Big Single" pickups take you on a tonal journey ranging from aggressive bite to warmer and clearer textures. Thanks to the Ibanez Sonitech preamp and the Hexa Mid system, you can sculpt your sound like an artist in full creation. The cherry on the cake? An EQ bypass function that allows you to instantly switch to a passive tone, in case you want simplicity.

This bass doesn’t just sound great, it’s also designed to be a joy to play. Hand-treated stainless steel frets provide a smooth glide, as if your fingers were dancing across the fingerboard. Add to that Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side markers for dark stages, and you’ve got a companion that will never let you down, even in the spotlight.

Hardware-wise, everything is built to last and perform. The MR5S bridge, with its adjustable spacing, adapts to your playing preferences, while Gotoh tuners ensure stable tuning, no matter how intense your performance. And let’s face it, its gold finish adds a touch of bling that doesn’t go unnoticed.
