Ibanez SR2605 Premium 5-String Bass – Cerulean Blue Burst
A Premium 5-String Built for Tone, Comfort and Creative Expression
The Ibanez SR2605 stands at the top of the Soundgear family, combining boutique-grade craftsmanship with modern playability and stunning aesthetics. Finished in a vibrant Cerulean Blue Burst over a beautifully figured Poplar Burl top, this Premium-series instrument delivers a powerful, articulate sound with a sleek, lightweight feel that inspires both on stage and in the studio.
Atlas 15-Piece Neck with Titanium Reinforcement
At the core of the SR2605 is the extraordinary Atlas 15-piece Panga Panga/Maple/Padauk/Purpleheart/Walnut neck. Its slim profile and multi-laminate construction offer exceptional stability, clarity and responsiveness. Reinforced with KTS™ TITANIUM rods, the neck remains rigid under the tension of five strings, providing singing sustain and precision throughout the entire register. The bound Panga Panga fretboard enhances attack, tight lows and a crisp, defined high-end character.
Premium Frets and Player-Centred Comfort
Medium stainless-steel frets ensure durability, clear note definition and a smooth feel, elevated by Ibanez’s Premium fret edge treatment for effortless playability. Combined with the ergonomic Soundgear body and carefully contoured neck heel, the SR2605 excels in fast, intricate playing styles and extended live sessions.
Poplar Burl Top & African Mahogany Body for Rich, Refined Tone
A Poplar Burl top delivers stunning visual depth with bright, articulate overtones, supported by the warmth and resonance of an African Mahogany body. The tonal blend offers a full, balanced voice perfect for fingerstyle, slap, chordal playing and everything in between.
Nordstrand Big Single Pickups with Advanced Ibanez Electronics
Loaded with Nordstrand™ Big Single pickups, the SR2605 produces an aggressive yet clear single-coil voice with full-bodied mids and punchy lows. These wide-aperture pickups offer the cutting presence of single coils while retaining impressive sonic thickness. The onboard Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ provides detailed tonal control, supported by an EQ bypass switch for passive operation and a 3-way mid-frequency selector for even more shaping options.
MR5S Bridge & Boutique-Level Hardware
The MR5S bridge offers adjustable string spacing (±1.5mm) to suit your playing style, delivering excellent tuning stability and vibration transfer. Gotoh machine heads ensure precise tuning accuracy, while gold hardware and luminescent side dots complete the SR2605’s premium feature set. A fitted Ibanez Premium gig bag is included for safe transport.
