SR700 Amber "2008" (more images)

The SR700 is a Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2008. It was crafted in South Korea but production moved to Indonesia in 2010. It is part of the Standard line.

The SR700 features a double-cutaway mahogany body bolted to a jatoba and bubinga SR4 neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with abalone ovals position markers. Components include a pair of Bartolini MK-1 pickups, an Accu-cast B20 fixed bridge with 19mm string spacing, die-cast machine heads. Controls consist of a single volume, balancer, and Bartolini MK1 3-band EQ with treble, bass, and mid boost/cut.

For 2012 the bridge was replaced with the new Accu-cast B300 and the Bartolini EQ was replaced with an EQB-IIIS unit.

The SR705 is a five string version.

The SR700 was discontinued after 2015.
