Ibanez SRMS625EX-BKF

Ibanez SRMS625EX-BKF

Ibanez SR is currently one of the most popular series of bass guitars in the world - this is not just a marketing ploy, but the result of research. So what lies behind the success of this model? The SR series of basses was introduced to the market at the end of the 1980s and is still evolving today. The SRMS625EX is the modern incarnation of the Soundgear bass, designed to meet modern trends in the heaviest forms of metal music. The five-string instrument is equipped with the so-called multiskal neck with a 34"-35.5" span. This solution significantly improves playing comfort and provides fuller sound of E and B strings at lower tuning. The excellent Ibanez preamp and Bartolini pickups guarantee a powerful and uncompromising sound, and the comfortable neck, for which the SR models are famous, will appeal to bass players who reach for the most extreme playing techniques.

Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot) & 3-way Mid frequency switch

The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is our latest refinement on the concept of 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 favorable bass tones.
The EQ bypass control offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.
The 3-way Mid frequency switch allow players to change the mid-tone between 250, 450, and 700 Hz.

MR5 bridge

The Mono-Rail V is the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation. Each bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference.
