Ibanez SR605E 5-String Bass – Black Stained Burst
Modern Soundgear Performance for 5-String Players
The SR605E continues the long-standing Ibanez tradition of offering sleek, fast-playing basses with modern versatility. Its lightweight Ash body and slim 5-piece Jatoba/Walnut neck provide the familiar SR feel – effortless, ergonomic and ideal for extended performances. The Black Stained Burst finish adds a sophisticated aesthetic to an already robust and performance-ready instrument.
Powerful Nordstrand™ Tone with Dynamic EQ Control
Equipped with Nordstrand™ Big Break pickups, the SR605E delivers full-bodied aggression with clean, noise-free clarity. The Ibanez Custom 3-band EQ, combined with an EQ bypass option and 3-way mid-frequency switch, offers exceptional control for shaping bright, modern slap tones, smooth studio warmth or tightly focused low-end punch. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for multi-genre musicians.
Precision Hardware & Enhanced Playability
The medium frets ensure accurate articulation across the 24-fret Rosewood fingerboard, while the Accu-cast B505 bridge allows personalised string spacing to suit your technique. Durable die-cast tuners provide stable tuning during demanding sessions, and the overall build ensures smooth transitions and consistent sustain across all five strings.
