So I was talking a friend of mine and he saw that I have a couple SR model basses. He then proceeded to tell me that "SR makes good stuff" and then he asked me.. "do you like SR or Ibanez?" I was confused at first... so naturally I said Ibanez... I was under the assumption that SR was just a line of Ibanez guitars... The way eh was making it sound is as if SR was the little basterd cheap version of Ibanez kinda like Squire is to Fender... is this true?

My son owns an Ibanez SR1205E, which is part of their "Premium" series. It sure doesn't look or play like "the little basterd cheap version", if you ask him.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: new666jersey | | | OMG!!!!!!!! okay so NO OFFENSE to the OP but now that i'm done slapping my hand against my forehead (5 min straight) I can answer. But AT LEAST YOU HAVE THE NUTS TO ASK AND LEARN:
1. The basses are Ibanez
2. The headstock reads SDGR (short for soundgear)
3. the "SR" is even shorter for SDGR and only used in the model number (i.e. SR900)
OP again The basses are Ibanez no such thing as an "SR brand" and as a "Guitar Center Employee" PLEASE educate yourself as much as possible as to not perpetuate the poor view people have of those that work there.

Don't forget to actually go back and smash his brains in, though, or he'll become a zombie...
Man... I really have to take a break from my Walking Dead marathon this afternoon... I'm getting all desensitized to violence and a world without a zombie apocalypse.

And like everyone else here has already said, SR in no way at all is a cheap version of ibanez. Almost the complete opposite. |

I'd try and get the best of both worlds.
Has he tried the Ibanez SR series basses?
