For 25 years the Ibanez SR has given electric bass players a modern alternative. With its smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics. The Ibanez SR805 five-string model shows what makes Ibanez such a popular maker of five-string basses.

The amber finish of its poplar burl-topped mahogany body is an example of showcasing wood's natural beauty. Musical liveliness is ensured by the precision crafted five-point bolt-on neck. Abalone oval inlays make an attractive contrast on the rosewood neck. The thin, comfortable SR4 neck shape has set the standard for playability. The Accu-cast B305 bridge is solidly anchored and easily adjustable. Bartolini MK1 pickups provide a very wide frequency range along with enhanced definition for maximum accuracy, and the EQB-IIIS EQ provides the SR800AM a wide variety of tone sculpting possibilities.

This bass is beautiful to look at and sounds amazing. It has great pickups, good tone, is very lightweight, and has an extremely fast neck and great electronics to match its quality. Without a doubt it's my favorite bass in my collection which includes: Warwick, Fender, Schecter, ESP etc.... I just love this bass. Great job Ibanez.
