IBANEZ Bass Workshop SRMS805-BTT Multiscale Brown Topaz Burst
Five-string electric bass with multi-scale scale, Bartolini pickups and active electronics
The Ibanez Bass Workshop SRMS805-BTT Multiscale Brown Topaz Burst is a first-class 5-string electric bass with a trendy multi-scale scale, whose broad and well-defined sound fits almost any music style. The 5-string not only offers a mahogany body with a chic Poplar Burl blanket, but also a playable Jatoba walnut neck with a fan-shaped Panga panga fingerboard. In addition, two Bartolini BH2 pickups with Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control take over the electrical sound conversion for versatile sound images. Last but not least, the Ibanez SRMS805 has five Ibanez MR5S single bars and precise Ibanez bass mechanics.
The striking Fanned Frets of the Ibanez Bass Workshop SRMS805 result from the individual scale of each string.
With multi-scale scale to a cleanly defined tone
The most striking feature of the Ibanez SRMS805-BTT Multiscale Brown Topaz Burst is undoubtedly the construction with individual scale for each string, which rises from 34 inches for the G-string to 35.5 inches for the low H-string and results in the strikingly fan-shaped frets of the Panga Panga fretboard. Due to the principle known from the piano, each string vibrates at the optimal length for its tuning, so that every note sounds cleanly defined. At the same time, the balanced string tension ensures comfortable playability in all positions.
Ibanez SRMS with typical sonudgear playing comfort
In addition, the Ibanez SRMS805, representing the Soundgear design, offers a high level of playing comfort and a perfectly matched selection of wood. Accordingly, the body is made of mahogany with typical ergonomic lines and provided with a top of intensively grained Poplar Burl, which is set off by a decorative walnut veneer. The fourfold bolted neck is also made of five stripes of jatoba and walnut, with the slim "SRMS5" profile lying comfortably in the hand.
Bartolini pickups and active 3-band tone control
The Ibanez Bass Workshop SRMS805-BTT Multiscale Brown Topaz Burst is equipped with two Bartolini BH2 pickups for electrical sound conversion. As passive humbuckers with a narrow magnetic field and blade pole pieces, the pickups deliver a finely articulated bass sound that brings every note with a firm bass foundation, powerful mids and clear highs to your ears. In addition, the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control is available, which allows particularly precise tuning of the sound image with a semi-parametric mid-band. The EQ bypass switch can also be used to deactivate the tone control and passively play the bass.
High quality Ibanez hardware
Last but not least, the Ibanez Bass Workshop SRMS805 is equipped with high-quality Ibanez hardware. Five Ibanez MR5S single bridges are used on the body, not only guaranteeing an optimal adjustment of intonation and string position, but also making it possible to adjust the string spacing. In addition, the mutual decoupling of the strings supports a defined sound development and an even sustain. In addition, five Ibanez die-cast bass tuners ensure precise and stable tuning.
