When you pick up an Ibanez SR400EQM bass, you’re instantly greeted with that signature Ibanez feel: smooth, fast, and laser-focused accuracy. In fact, our Guitar Workshop was delightfully surprised by how close the Ibanez SR400EQM plays and sounds like its higher-end SR series siblings. This feel and vibe owe in large part to the SR400EQM’s sleek 5-piece maple and walnut neck, with its SR4 profile, alongside the comfort-focused contouring of the bass’s arched body, topped with a dazzling piece of quilted maple. As for tone, this bass is loaded with two sonically flexible Ibanez PowerSpan humbucking pickups that are paired with a 3-band EQ and versatile Power Tap switch. Taken together, the Ibanez SR400EQM masterfully melds power and performance with boisterous lows and tenacious sound crafting, outfitting any bassist’s studio or stage rig with a rock-solid workhorse that’s raring to roar.

Seize the signature sonics of Ibanez excellence

The feel of a big-time bass in an awesome, accessible, and well-rounded package is always a treat. However, it takes on a whole new meaning when it’s with Ibanez. Perfect for newcomers, hobbyists, and seasoned bassists alike, the Ibanez SR400EQM sports the company’s hallmark playing feel, pairing sleek aesthetics with adaptable in-hand heft. Its 5-piece maple and walnut neck conjure warmth and brightness, while a comfortably contoured nyatoh body and arched quilted-maple top collectively impart sonorous, shimmering depth and articulation to your tones. A resonant and projective jatoba fingerboard completes the SR400EQM’s tonewood foundations, augmenting not just your sonic aperture, but your stage presence, too, thanks to its eye-catching and rich, dark complexion.

Versatile sound for any style

Ibanez basses are used in every style of music from metal to rock to jazz fusion. The versatile pickups and active electronics let you shape your tone and personalized your performances, to best fit the gig. From the scooped mids for slapping and popping to massive low-end rumble, the SR400EQM is teeming with tone-sculpting possibilities, while its ultra-accommodating SR4 neck ensures that bassists of virtually any genre or playstyle are met with comfort, control, and character. Considering the bass’s 34-inch scale, 12-inch fretboard radius, and 24 frets, the tone tools go the extra mile in supporting your sound as you seamlessly weave riffs and licks across the board, thanks to its smooth heel and generous treble-side cutaway.

Jammed with tone: haymaking humbuckers and a 3-band EQ

The Ibanez SR400EQM features two of Ibanez's PowerSpan humbucking pickups, crafted for flexible yet focused 4-string ferocity. But for all the diversity they support, Ibanez understands that tone — in the fingers, the tonewoods, the pedalboard, or elsewhere — is exceptionally personal. So, Ibanez endowed the SR400EQM with a 3-way Power Tap switch, Balancer control, and custom 3-band EQ that has dedicated controls for each frequency band. Furthermore, the Power Tap capabilities of the bass let you effortlessly navigate single-coil Tap Mode and the humbucking Series Mode, granting access to the best of both bass worlds and a near-endless array of sound. Collectively, this immensely malleable suite of sound-shaping lets you sweep mids, tame trebles, boost basses, and hone tones, all without ever leaving your bass.
