Big 5-string Bass Value from Ibanez
Pick up the Ibanez SR405EQM 5-string electric bass, and you’ll quickly discover that Ibanez didn’t sacrifice quality to bring you a value-packed instrument. The experience of playing the SR405EQM is much like that of Ibanez’s higher-end SR Series models, thanks to the SR405EQM’s sleek 5-piece maple/walnut neck and comfortable arched mahogany body with an eye-popping quilt maple top. A pair of Ibanez PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups packs phenomenal punch, while the 3-band EQ with Power Tap creates a vast array of sound-shaping possibilities. Whether you’re a beginning bassist looking for your first quality instrument or a pro who needs a reliable backup, the Ibanez SR405EQM is an outstanding value.
Acclaimed SR feel and playability
Ibanez’s SR electric bass guitars are among the most comfortable instruments for players who appreciate sleek body contours and fast playability. The SR405EQM’s body boasts that iconic, sculpted shape that seems to naturally hug your body without ever getting in the way of your performance. The SR neck features a narrow nut and thin SR profile, aiding in quick string skipping and moving up and down the fretboard with ease.
Versatile tone for any style
Ibanez basses are used in every style of music from metal to rock to jazz fusion. The SR405EQM features two of Ibanez’s PowerSpan humbucking pickups. To optimize their tonal flexibility and help you quickly dial in the right bass tone for any style, the SR405EQM is loaded with a custom 3-band EQ and a 3-way Power Tap switch. The active electronics harness the power of the bass’s PowerSpan Dual Coil neck and bridge pickups, letting you easily shape your tone to best fit the gig.
The 3-band EQ works together with the Power Tap switch for complete control over a broad range of professional bass tones. Tap Mode (single-coil) delivers a punchy, dynamic tone with excellent note articulation. Series Mode (humbucking) serves up a full, warm sound, and Power Tap Mode combines the best of both — the clarity of single-coil with the fat low end of the humbucker. From the scooped mids for slapping and popping to massive low-end punch, the SR405EQM can do it all.
