PRESS RELEASE

Ibanez Upgrades Soundgear Basses and Adds New SR900 Series Caption (Click for a close-up) January 16, 2004 Every series in the Ibanez Soundgear line has received upgrades in 2004. At the top of the line, the 5-string Prestige SR3005 now features a D-Tuner. At the beginning of the line, the SR300 gets a 2-band active EQ and theSR400 receives a new Style Sweeper EQ, which promises to quickly take players "from warm 50's thump to today's slap, pop and funk. However, the most significant Soundgear "upgrade" may be the addition of an entirely new the SR900. Both the 4- and 5-string versions of the SR900 list for under a grand, but they are loaded with must-have features for the pro-player: Bartolini MK1 pickups, the Bartolini MK1 3-Band EQ, Accu-Cast B20 bridge and an arched topped body of figured maple fitted with a 5pc maple/bubinga thru-body neck. "Soundgear's thin neck and active electronics are what put Ibanez on the map in basses in 1987," commented Pete Chiavarou of Ibanez. "What has kept the Soundgear in the forefront has been the fact that it has evolved as bass playing has evolved. The SR900 and the entire 2004 Soundgear line still have what Soundgear a radically different bass in 1987--but they have new appointments and electronics that keep the Soundgear line on the cutting edge 17 years later."
