Ibanez Standard SR305E-MSS Metallic Silver Sunburst

PowerSpan humbucker with active 3-band tone control

The pickup on the Standard SR305E-MSS Metallic Silver Sunburst are Ibanez PowerSpan Dual-Coil pickups, especially developed for this bass. In combination with the active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control they cover a variable sound spectrum. Whether transparent solo and jazz sounds, dirty rock growl or rich thrust from the deepest bass cellar, the four-string always has the right setting for every style ready and presents even the low B-string precisely.

Power-Tap-Switch for sound variability

A special feature of the Ibanez Standard SR305E-MSS Metallic Silver Sunburst is furthermore the Power-Tap switch, which switches the coils of both humbuckers from the powerful series circuit to Tap or PowerTap mode. While the former delivers authentic single-coil sounds with typical clarity and tone definition, the latter adds a fundamental bass component to this sound.

High-quality hardware with unwavering reliability

On the body side, the strings of the Standard SR305E-MSS Metallic Silver Sunburst electric bass from Ibanez are held in place by the tried-and-tested Accu-Cast B125 bridge, whose solid construction makes a significant contribution to the bass's long and even decaying sustain. At the same time, 16.5 mm string spacing provides room for clean strokes even with a hearty grip, while the ball ends that hook in from the top make string changes much easier. At the headstock, the strings are held by reliable die-cast tuners that guarantee precise tuning.
