The Ibanez SR405EQM Standard 5-String Right-Handed Electric Bass Guitar in Stained Cosmic Blue Starburst excites with its smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics. For 30 years the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavoring to answer the wider needs of a variety of players, at a variety of budgets. The 5-piece Maple and Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack. The quilted Maple top sonically enriches the response for picking and Nyatoh used as body wood provides a rich mid-low end. Jatoba has a reddish brown color and produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end. Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes. 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 rich in harmonic detail and dynamic expression. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is the 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 Accu-cast B300 bridge affords precise intonation and delivers string-to-body vibration conductively. Accessed by the 3-way Power Tap switch, the pickups offer a choice of three tonal personalities: A rich humbucker sound, a pure single-coil sound, or an enhanced single coil sound - fattened by lows from the humbucker pickups.
