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 photo by Dan Herring technology the rest of industry believed too costly to produce on a wide-scale basis, turned the bass world on its collective ear. 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.
