Ibanez Bass Workshop SRMS805 – Brown Topaz Burst Ibanez

The Ibanez 5-string Bass Workshop SRMS805 is built from an exciting blend of tonewoods. A poplar-burl-topped walnut/mahogany body delivers a warm, earthy tone with a round bottom and bright top end. A 5-piece jatoba/walnut neck makes a fine tonal complement, while supplying excellent comfort and stability. The SRMS805’s multi-scale fingerboard offers optimal tension and playability. Experience superior intonation and vibration transference, thanks to a Mono-Rail VS bridge. A duo of Bartolini BH2 dual-coil pickups yields incredible depth and clarity, a 3-band EQ allows for further sonic sculpting, and a 3-way midrange switch rounds out the SRMS805’s controls. To top it all off, the Bass Workshop SRMS805 features black matte hardware for a sleek, eye-catching look.

Multi-scale frets are an exciting new trend in high-end bass guitar design. They yield a longer scale on the bass side of the instrument and a shorter scale on the treble side, offering you better intonation and more consistent tension and attack from string to string.

Bartolini BH2 pickups maintain a superb balance between the Bass Workshop SRMS805’s clarity and depth. They provide complexity and warmth in the mids and low-end depth that won’t wash out. Long-blade pole pieces allow these dual-coil pickups to offer hum-free single-coil-style character and consistency. When you want to sculpt your SRMS805’s tone, just reach for the 3-band EQ. This active equalizer delivers wide frequency-range adjustments on each band. There’s also a 3-way midrange switch that lets you define your instrument’s presence. Whether you want round R&B throb or responsive thumb-technique punch, the SRMS805 delivers.

The Mono-Rail VS bridge installed on the Bass Workshop SRMS805 solves the issue of too much string cross-talk some other basses struggle with. When you play a string, sympathetic vibrations can set the other strings into motion. But by separating the bridge into five independent “mini bridges,” the Mono-Rail VS maximizes vibration transfer without interference from the other strings. Ibanez goes so far as to call the Mono-Rail VS, “the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation.” Each bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference.
