The Ibanez Bass Workshop SRD900: Over two octaves of pure sonic experimentation

Break free from traditional formatting and standard tone with the Ibanez Bass Workshop SRD900. Crafted for adventurous players demanding a deeper layer of acoustic textures alongside their electric punch, this multi-faceted instrument offers unparalleled flexibility. Its deep double-cutaway profile grants effortless physical access to a massive 30-fret range, giving players a massive two-and-a-half octaves of melodic real estate on a gorgeously bound panga panga fingerboard.

At the structural core of the SRD900 is a half semi-hollow okoume body that breathes with acoustic-like resonance, beautifully complemented by an exotic flamed maple top that adds an exquisite high-end treble sheen. The neck features a rock-solid, bolt-on 5-piece maple and walnut construction carved into a fast, highly accessible SRD4 profile. Whether navigating dark stage environments lit only by luminescent side dot inlays or laying down flawless tracking in the studio, the ergonomic playability ensures maximum comfort during high-register soloing or quick, intricate runs.

The true genius of the SRD900 lies in its hybrid electronic configuration. It houses a pair of Nordstrand Big Break split-coil soapbar pickups that supply a muscular, aggressive electric punch without the hum of traditional single-coils. Running parallel to the magnetic system is the AeroSilk under-saddle piezo pickup bridge, which captures a woody, airy quality reminiscent of a traditional upright acoustic bass. With independent volume controls for each pickup system, a master active 2-band EQ, an individual piezo tone dial, and rear-panel string gain trim pots, you have absolute authority over your tonal landscape.
