Ibanez SR305EB Weathered Black

What we say:

At A Glance

If you are looking to venture into the world of 5 string basses then this Ibanez SR305EB is a great choice. The SR series represents great value for money and provides the player with a solidly built instrument at an affordable price. It is packed with features not usually seen at this price point such as Dual Coil pickups with a 3-band EQ. A lightweight body and smooth neck make it comfortable and easy to play. It can easily cover a variety of styles including metal and rock but would also be at home in the world of jazz and blues.

Features We Love:

PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups

Ibanez developed these pickups with great tone in mind. The multiple exposed pole pieces give rise to a stronger signal and allow the high end frequencies to be captured well without giving up the power of the low end. Perfect for a well balanced and clearly voiced sound.

Accu-cast B125 Bridge

The secure B125 provides the player with a solid piece of hardware for the 5 strings. Created with extra wide slots, this allows for heavy gauge strings to be used with no difficulty. The saddles are firmly held in place due to the design and construction of the bridge, so you can focus on your playing knowing that this will be on your side.

Ibanez Custom Electronics

The 3-band EQ allows you to shape your tone and find what you are looking for. A Tap Mode creates a more dynamic single coil sound while the Series Mode produces a warm tone. The Power Tap gives the best of both worlds and allows you to have the clarity and the full sound. A great option to have available.

Highlights:

• Ibanez brand build quality
• Excellent value for money
• Perfect choice for those looking to venture into the 5-string bass world
