Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ibanez’s IV1SR is a right-handed, five-string SR Visions bass from an eight-piece run. Its swamp ash body and Bastogne walnut top pair with a five-piece S-TECH maple/purpleheart Atlas HP neck and pale moon ebony fingerboard. Two Nordstrand Big Single pickups feed the Sonitech preamp, giving the player active three-band EQ, selectable midrange banks, a passive tone control and EQ bypass. The MR5S bridge also allows each saddle’s string spacing to be adjusted by ±1.5 mm, so setup can be tailored to the player.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who need five-string range with active EQ control and selectable midrange frequency banks.
- Detailed setup work requiring individually adjustable bridge-saddle string spacing.
- Transporting a limited-run bass with its supplied hardshell case.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; the bass is specified as right-handed.
- Buyers seeking a non-limited production model; only eight instruments were made.
