Innovation2 = A Better Bass Given the number of extraordinary artists who have played Ibanez basses throughout the decades, we can’t claim that we, alone, changed bass playing. But clearly, Ibanez basses enabled, encouraged, and inspired a transformation.

Hats off to those imaginative, masterful players who pushed the boundaries and morphed the musical role of the bass from second- class citizen to that of full-tilt creative collaborator. The weapon of choice for that revolution has often been an Ibanez bass.

Innovation is part of that story and our accomplishments in that realm are impressive. But so what? Many a talented instrument maker has innovated, producing an instrument that, at the end of the day, is within reach of only the well-heeled few. We say that’s no product, that’s a prototype. Our attitude: innovation isn’t the end of the working day, it’s the start of it.

At Ibanez, Innovation2 means that a great idea isn’t a great idea until it can be built into a bass that’s within reach of almost anyone with the urge to play. 25 Years & Running Strong Before we pop any corks for the SR’s 25th birthday, let’s revisit 1987. Remember, at that point, most solid body electric basses were–for the most part–patterned slavishly after an instrument created in the early 1950s. Then along came Ibanez Soundgear. Though there had been interesting experiments along the way, the SR was the first full-throttle mass production commitment to a re-visioning of the electric bass. Its most drastic modifications: 1) A previously unachievable thinning of the neck, 2) a reduction of body size and weight, and 3) active electronics. For bassists, the universe was altered. The lighter body Nate Grady allowed the bassist a newfound freedom to move and groove! The thin, fast neck of the SR promoted aggressive playing styles, while the thinner neck opened the instrument to smaller-framed players. Further, the inclusion of active electronics, a

As you’ll see on the following pages, demand for the Soundgear bass has inspired constantly evolving variations on the theme. So if we do pop a cork for Contents our Soundgear, it’s not just because we created an SR Prestige 4-5 BTB 26-27 extremely popular bass, it’s because in doing so we GVB/GWB 6-7 ATK 28 opened up the creative possibilities of bass playing itself.

4 5 Signatures GVB Gerald Veasley Smooth, rapturous, fluid–some of the ways to describe the sounds that world-renowned jazz bassist Gerald Veasley coaxes from his signature six-string Ibanez bass. Gerald's high-end GVB1006 bass features an Alder body and gorgeous Figured Maple top. It has a special string spacing of 14mm at its Mono-Rail bridge compared to our usual 16.5mm spacing, allowing Gerald to play chords with ease according to his playing style.

Music Is Repetition Meeting Change We gave a tip of the hat, back at the start of this catalog, to those imaginative, masterful bassists who pushed the boundaries–those who transformed the musical role of the bass from second-class citizen to that of full-tilt creative collaborator.

Today’s bassists follow in their footsteps by digging deep as artists. Here at Ibanez we challenge ourselves, too–by stretching and building instruments that open new avenues of musical possibility. Grooveline, BTB, ATK, and Artcore, each in their own way, stand as invitations to a musical experience that you may not have had otherwise.

23 Over the course of three years, dozens of prototypes, and hundreds of drawings, we never swayed from our first objective: For bass and player to share a center of balance. Standing up or sitting down, the first thing you'll notice is that the Grooveline Grooveline does not require the support of your hands. Meaning you can use them for other things–like playing bass.
