Soundgear Design in Multiscale Construction
As a modern interpretation of the appreciated Soundgear design, the SRMS625EX comes in a trendy multiscale construction. Individual scales, rising from 34" (864 mm) on the G to 35.5" (902 mm) on the B, give each string its optimal tension, so that the bass guitar not only offers buttery-smooth playing characteristics, but also a clearly defined sound. While the okoumé body in the curved Soundgear design sits comfortably on the player, the slim SRMS5 neck profile guarantees agile handling in all positions of the ebonol fingerboard.
Bartolini BH2 soapbars and a flexible 3-band tone control with optional passive mode deliver rich bass tones for modern metal styles.
Flexible Bass Sound
At the bass amplifier, the five-string SRMS625 bass guitar from Ibanez convinces with a broad sound spectrum that does not lose definition even with low tunings or distortion. The passive Bartolini BH2 Soapbars deliver smoothly responding sounds with enormous punch. To adjust the tone precisely to your own ideas, the five-string also comes with an active 3-band equalizer, whose center control has three selectable center frequencies. In addition, the E-Bass can be set to passive mode if desired.
Precise die-cast tuners keep the strings of the Iron Label SRMS625EX securely in the correct tuning.
Perfectly matched hardware
Last but not least, Ibanez relies on high-quality hardware with a black finish for the Iron Label SRMS625EX-BKF Black Flat Bass. Five Ibanez MR5 individual bridges not only support the balanced sound of the electric bass, but also guarantee a perfect adjustment of intonation and string position. Precise Ibanez Die-Cast bass tuners also ensure accurate tuning with unshakable stability.
Look amazing. Playability is good and the neck is comfortable. I didn’t really like the weight balance;the neck slightly outweighs the body. It is also worth taking into account the location of the pickups. They are located at an angle, it looks cool, but placing your thumb is not convenient) It is better to replace the strings with something better. Due to the installed Bartolini pickups, the sound is dark. The built-in equalizer can to some extent correct this problem, as well as replacing it with other brighter strings
