Our take on the Ibanez SR1320SB 4-String Bass Guitar

The SR1320SB is a 4-string bass from Ibanez's SR Premium line, built with an ash and mahogany body, a five-piece neck and a panga panga and rosewood fretboard. It carries the slim, fast SR neck profile that players like for long sets and quick runs, plus active electronics with a mid-frequency sweep for tone shaping. It suits gigging bassists who want a light, modern-feeling instrument with more tonal control than a passive bass offers. Against cheaper SR models it adds premium woods and hardware; against boutique basses it stays a mass-produced instrument, and some owners note the active preamp colors the sound even when set flat.

Questions and answers

Is the SR1320SB good for beginners?: It is more bass than most beginners need. The slim neck is friendly, but the active electronics and premium woods suit players who already know what tone they want.
How does it compare with the SR500?: The SR1320SB sits higher in the SR range with premium woods and hardware. The SR500 is simpler and passive-friendly, while this one adds more tonal shaping.
Does it need a battery?: Yes. The active preamp runs on a 9-volt battery, so keep a spare and unplug the cable when not playing to save power.
What strings does it come with?: It ships with stock roundwound strings suited to the active sound. Many owners swap to their preferred gauge and brand after a setup.
Is the neck thin like other Ibanez SR basses?: Yes. It uses the SR slim neck profile, which is one of the main reasons players choose this line.
What is in the box?: The bass, a truss rod tool and basic documentation. A gig bag and cable are usually not included.
