Ibanez SR305EDX 5-String Electric Bass Guitar

The Ibanez SR305EDX is a five-string electric bass for musicians who want extended low-end range, versatile tone shaping and a slim neck. It suits worship teams, gigging bands and studio players who need one bass for different musical styles.

Its five-piece Maple/Walnut neck combines a 34-inch scale with a 45mm nut width and a slim 19.5mm profile at the first fret. The Jatoba fretboard carries 24 medium frets, providing room for bass lines, melodic fills and upper-register playing.

Two passive PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups work with Ibanez Custom Electronics, including a three-band EQ and three-way Power Tap switch. This combination gives you onboard control over your sound, helping you move between supportive low-end parts and more defined, forward bass tones.

The Okoume body is paired with gold hardware and an Accu-cast B505 bridge with 16.5mm string spacing. Factory tuning is B–E–A–D–G from lowest to highest, giving you a low B string for extended-range arrangements in church, live performance and recording sessions.
