Five-string Soundgear Bass with comfortable handling and flexible sound
The Ibanez Standard SR305EDX-BZM Black Ice Frozen Matte combines incomparably high playability with a modern, versatile sound spectrum in the best Soundgear tradition. While the streamlined body made of Nyatoh and the slim maple-walnut neck contribute to the agile handling of the five-string E-Bass, the revised PowerSpan humbuckers in combination with the active 3-band tone control deliver versatile sounds for every style of music. Last but not least, Ibanez completes the SR305EDX-BZM Black Ice Frozen matte with reliable hardware, whose gold finish harmoniously complements the beautiful flip-flip lacquer.
The Ibanez Standard SR305EDX-BZM Black Ice Frozen Matte not only impresses with its extroverted look, but also with its agile playing characteristics and versatile bass sounds.
Typical Soundgear playing comfort
Thanks to the Nyatoh body in the typical, flowing Soundgear design, the SR305EDX Bass hugs the player and thus offers a robust playing position both sitting on the leg and standing on the strap. The four-piece bolt-on neck is made from five pieces of maple and walnut, while the flat "SR5" profile sits comfortably in the hand and allows fast basslines and complex grooves to flow easily from the Jatoba fingerboard.
PowerSpan humbucker with active 3-band tone control
The pickups used on the standard SR305EDX-BZM Black Ice Frozen matte Ibanez PowerSpan dual-coil pickups specially developed for this Bass cover a variable sound spectrum in conjunction with the active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control. Whether it's transparent solo and jazz sounds, dirty rock growl or rich thrust from the deepest bass cellar, the five-string always has the right setting for every style and also reproduces the low B-string precisely.
Power tap switch for sound variability
Another special feature of the Ibanez SR305EDX-BZM Black Ice Frozen matte bass guitar is the power tap switch, which switches the coils of both humbuckers from the powerful series circuit to tap or power tap mode. While the former delivers authentic single-coil sounds with typical clarity and tone definition, the latter adds a fundamental bass component to the sound.
High-quality Hardware with unshakeable reliability
Last but not least, Ibanez equips the standard SR305EDX-BZM Black Ice Frozen matte with reliable Hardware in an elegant gold finish. On the body side, the strings are attached to the tried-and-tested Accu-Cast B505 bridge, whose solid construction supports the sustain-rich sound character of the bass guitar. The string saddles can be individually adjusted for intonation and string position and, with a string spacing of 16.5 mm, offer sufficient space for clean attacks, even when playing with a bold style, while the ball ends, which can be attached from above, make it much easier to change the strings. Ibanez die-cast bass tuners on the headstock also keep the Bass securely in tune.

Ibanez Standard SR305EDX-BZM Black Ice Frozen Matte
I had this bass, sold it but I am think of buying it again. Very well made and very good sound. Rarely goes out of tune. Nice, funky, rounded sound for wide range of genres.

An amazing instrument for the money. Low weight, excellent tones, smoothest and least sticky neck I've used on any guitar/bass in this price range. Had it for about 3 weeks now, can't find a fault on it. Sure, it doesn't sound quite like a bass 10 times the price, but I would gig with this any day.
