The 1992 Ibanez SR700 in Walnut is a vintage gem from the early years of the highly acclaimed SR (Soundgear) series. Made in Japan during an era known for top-quality craftsmanship, this bass exemplifies the precision and innovation that Ibanez brought to the bass guitar world. With its sleek and ergonomic design, this model appeals to bass players who value comfort, playability, and a dynamic range of tones.

The body of the SR700 is crafted from walnut, giving it a distinctive look and warm tonal quality. The natural grain of the wood, highlighted by the walnut finish, offers a beautiful and organic aesthetic. Walnut is known for delivering a well-balanced tonal response, with a bit more focus on the midrange and warmth, making this bass well-suited for various styles of music, from jazz to rock to funk. The smooth contours of the body enhance comfort, particularly during long performances or recording sessions.

Equipped with a five-piece maple and bubinga neck, the SR700 delivers excellent stability and playability. The thin, fast neck is a hallmark of the Soundgear series, providing a smooth playing experience that bassists can appreciate whether they’re laying down rapid runs or steady grooves. The rosewood fingerboard further adds to the bass’s tonal depth, delivering a rich and resonant sound with plenty of clarity and sustain.

In terms of electronics, the SR700 comes with a split-coil and jazz pickup, which offer a wide tonal palette. These pickups, combined with the passive EQ system, give bassists the ability to fine-tune their sound to suit any performance context. Whether you need a punchy, aggressive tone for rock, a smooth, mellow sound for jazz, or a snappy, bright slap tone for funk, the SR700 delivers. This versatility, paired with the instrument's sleek design and quality build, makes the 1992 Ibanez SR700 a cherished model among both collectors and working musicians.
