  • Our take on the Ibanez SR Premium SR1300E 4-String Electric Bass

    The Ibanez SR Premium SR1300E is a 4-string electric bass from Ibanez's made-in-Japan Premium line, built around the slim, fast SR neck that has long made the series a favorite with gigging players. It pairs a mahogany body with Nordstrand Big Single pickups and an Ibanez active preamp, giving a thick, aggressive single-coil tone with wide EQ shaping. It sits above the standard SR models in wood, hardware and fretwork, and competes with other sub-luxury active basses on feel rather than flash. It suits players who want a light, fast neck and a modern active voice without stepping into boutique territory.

    • Pickup noiseCriticisedSome owners report single-coil hum in electrically noisy rooms or with high gain.
    • WeightPraisedThe mahogany body is described as light and well balanced on a strap.

    Questions and answers

    How does the SR1300E differ from a standard SR bass?
    It moves up to Premium-line woods, Nordstrand Big Single pickups and better hardware and fretwork. The neck profile stays close to the SR shape most players already know.
    Does it need a battery?
    Yes. The active preamp runs on a 9V battery, so you need to unplug the cable when not playing to avoid draining it.
    Is the SR neck good for small hands?
    The SR neck is one of the slimmest on a 4-string bass, which many players with smaller hands find comfortable. It is still a full 34-inch scale bass.
    Can it do slap and fingerstyle?
    Yes. The single-coil pickups and active EQ give a bright, articulate attack that works well for slap, while the EQ can warm up fingerstyle tone.
    What is in the box?
    You get the bass itself, typically with a gig bag and the usual adjustment tools from Ibanez. Check the listing for the exact included accessories.
    Is it worth it over a cheaper SR model?
    If neck feel, pickups and finish matter to you, the Premium line is a clear step up. If you mainly play at home, a standard SR covers the basics for less.
