The Ibanez SR655 is a handsome 5-string bass designed with the working musician in mind. At the heart of this bass is an ash body, chosen for its bright, articulate tone and long sustain. The SR655 sports a 5-piece jatoba/walnut SR5 neck and a jatoba fretboard, embedded with elegant abalone oval inlays. An Accu-cast B305 bridge provides excellent string vibration transfer and precise intonation.

For electronics, the SR655 features Nordstrand CND pickups in a classic P/J combination, a versatile setup almost indispensable for the working musician. Specifically designed for Ibanez, these passive pickups deliver a very present tone that easily punches through any mix. Equalization controls include a 3-band active EQ with a bypass switch for precise tone management.

This bass is absolutely worth every penny. She may look pretty but don't let her looks fool you, she's a BEAST. The passive tone sounds fantastic and the 3 band active EQ is accurate. The additional knob next to the volume lets you use the bass as a P bass, J bass, or a P/J hybrid. The variation in tone makes it really easy to play across a broad spectrum of music genres. The bass is lightweight and the pickups are very responsive. Would definitely recommend this to any bass player intermediate and up.
