The sound of these wood types
Mahogany is a type of wood that produces a warm sound while the delicate grain of this red-brown wood provides never-ending sustain. It's good to know that the body of this SR1400T-VNF consists of two parts of mahogany. This body is fitted with a top made of beautifully figured maple that provides incredibly clear tones and is very appealing to the eye. The neck of this SR1400T is constructed of three parts wenge and two parts bubinga wood. These wood types do not only make the neck more stable, they also contribute to the sound of this instrument. Wenge provides clear mid tones and is highly responsive while bubinga also contributes to a clear mid area but takes care of a fat, well-defined low end as well.
Nordstrand
The Nordstrand pickups also lend a helping hand when it comes to the guitar's sound. These Big Singles are single-coil pickups in soapbar size and produce a full, powerful sound with an aggressive edge. Nevertheless, they still maintain that typical single-coil clarity. The EQBIIISC 3-band tone control and the preamps, that have been designed specifically for the Nordstrand pickups, allow for a pure and wide frequency response. You can choose whether the mid switch controls 250 Hz or 600 Hz. All of these features together make this SR1400T-VNF bass by Ibanez a versatile, high-quality instrument that can take on any music genre.
