PRESS RELEASE
| New Ibanez Oil Finished Soundgear Basses
 |
| SR480SOL |
December 6, 1999
Ibanez has again expanded their Soundgear line with the new SR480 and SR485
basses. At the January 1999 show the line was expanded at the beginner and high-end
ranges. This time the target is the mid-price range. "We noticed that more
and more of our heavy music artists like Fieldy of Kom and Sam Rivers of Limp
Bizkit were playing oilfinished basses," commented Masashi Inoue of Ibanez.
"Unfortunately for their fans, those rich dark looks usually came at a somewhat
rich price."
"So at this price point, the new SR480 four string and SR485 are great
way for players to get something approaching the looks and sound of a boutique
bass without breaking the bank. In other words, the SR480 and SR485 allow players
to play heavier at a lighter price."
