Ibanez SR305E BWK 5-String Electric Bass Guitar Cosmo Black

The Ibanez SR series has redefined what bass players expect from their instruments over three decades of innovation. This modern alternative continues to attract musicians across all skill levels and budgets, maintaining its core appeal through the signature smooth, fast neck, lightweight body construction, and precisely matched electronics that have made it a studio and stage favourite.

At the heart of the SR's hardware lies the B120 bridge system, featuring extra-wide string slots designed to handle the heaviest gauge strings with ease. The innovative bridge plate design incorporates walls and channels that effectively trap the saddles in position, guaranteeing perfect directional uniformity for optimal string response and sustain.

The comprehensive 3-band EQ system works alongside a versatile coil tap switch, offering extensive control over professional bass tones. Tap Mode engages single coil operation for punchy, dynamic sounds with superior articulation, while Series Mode utilises humbucking configuration for full, warm tones. Power Tap Mode combines the clarity of single coil pickup with the substantial low-end response of the humbucker design.

Ibanez's proprietary PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups feature exposed pole pieces that generate stronger signal output whilst increasing higher frequency response without compromising the low-end foundation. This design produces tones rich in harmonic detail and dynamic expression, making the SR series suitable for diverse musical applications from jazz to metal.
