Product Description
For 30 years, the Ibanez SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavouring to answer the wider needs of a variety of musicians at a variety of budgets. But no matter what the specs, the heart is the same! The SR Series continues to excite with its smooth and fast neck, lightweight body, and powerful electronics that provide plenty of flexibility.
The Ibanez SR305E is a handsome 5-string bass guitar designed for the performance-centric player. The instrument starts with an immaculately-finished Nyatoh body, which comes paired with a sturdy 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck adorned with a 24-fret Jatoba fingerboard. An Accu-Cast B120 bridge yields superior string vibration transfer and precise intonation, while Cosmo Black hardware adds a hint of stealth. At the heart of the SR305E's electronics are two PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups, enhanced by a 3-way "Power Tap" switch that enables three tonal personalities. Add the ability to dial in precise tone preferences via the Ibanez Custom 3-band EQ, and the SR305E is a versatile musical chameleon!
Key Features
- Nyatoh Body — Often likened to Mahogany, Nyatoh wood provides a rich mid-low end sound that serves as an ideal sonic foundation for the pickups.
- 5-Piece Maple/Walnut Neck — Provides stability, tonal clarity and superior note attack.
- Jatoba Fingerboard — Has a gorgeous reddish brown color and produces a rich mid-range quality with a crisp high-end.
- 24 Medium Frets — Enhance the accuracy of your notes, with the full two-octave range per string giving you lots of musical range.
- PowerSpan Dual Coil Pickups — Developed by Ibanez, the exposed pole pieces of the PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups produce a stronger signal and increase the response of the higher frequencies without sacrificing low-end. The result is a tone that's rich in harmonic detail and dynamic expression.
- Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-Band EQ — Simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid control are each centered on slightly different frequencies; an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favourable bass sounds.
- 3-Way Power Tap Switch — The pickups offer a choice of three tonal personalities: A rich humbucker tone, a pure single-coil sound, or an enhanced single coil voice (fattened by lows from the humbucker pickups).
- Accu-Cast B120 Series Bridge — The B120's extra-wide string slots can accommodate even the heaviest of gauges. The walls and channels of the new bridge plate effectively "trap" the saddles; ensuring perfect directional uniformity.
