The SB1200, referred to as the SB1200S in some markets, is a four-string solid-body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 1991 as part of the S Bass series. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.
The body shape is a very close copy of the solid body guitar S series, and it sports a version of the iconic pointy headstock known from Ibanez guitars and Roadbass series.
The thin profile of the SB body
The SB1200 features a thin, sculpted, double-cutaway mahogany body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with abalone oval position markers and a black headstock. Components include a EMG-HG P and EMG-HG J pickups routed through an Ibanez EQ-B II preamp, an AccuCast B-IV fixed bridge with 19mm string spacing, a plastic nut, cosmo black hardware, and Ibanez die-cast tuning machines.
The SB900 is a similar model with different pickups. The SB1500 is a related model with a bubinga body and bubinga and wenge neck.
