Overview

Ibanez SRX705 5-String Electric Bass Guitar
The SRX705 is loaded with features and designed for heavy rock players who want to spend their time playing - not setting up their bass! It features neck-thru construction, a light ash body, and a massive Accu-Cast B205 bridge - a combination that delivers big tone and ringing sustain. Its PFR pickups and EQB-IIDX electronics are also remarkable. The Passive Full Range pickups feature powerful output with added low mids for incredible punch. The EQB electronics include active 2-band EQ for complete tone control. Another outstanding Ibanez value.

SRX Soundgear Xtreme basses were designed for players who want an easy-to-play bass with simple controls and 'beyond massive' pickups that can pump out loud, heavy rock. Period.

It rates a 9.5+. In my book nothing on earth rates a "10".

Sound

I've been looking for a solid-sounding B-string for quite some time - 4 or 5 years at least, trying instruments with prices that ranged to $5k. I've played well over 100 5- and 6- string basses looking for a B that sounds like a warm, natural extension of the G, D, A and E strings. The 705's B was crisp and deep so I pulled out the credit card within 10 minutes of playing it! It stands as one of my greatest purchasing decisions.

Features

I wish it had a 3-band eq section.

Quality

I really like the wood selection, the fit and finish are very nice and I find myself playing at the neck/body interface just to have the sensual curve in my hand.

Value

I bought it within ten minutes of playing it - and I'm a cheapskate!

The Wow Factor

It looks beautiful and it feels GREAT!
