Ibanez SR305EDX-RGC Five-String Electric Bass – Rose Gold Chameleon

Equipped with two Ibanez PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups, an active three-band equaliser and a three-way Power Tap switch, the SR305EDX-RGC provides a broad range of bass sounds.

Technical Specifications

Slim Soundgear Playability

The SR5 neck uses a slim profile designed to make movement across five strings comfortable and efficient. Its 45 mm nut width and 305 mm fingerboard radius provide a balanced layout for fingerstyle playing, picking, slap techniques, chords and melodic bass lines.

Extended Five-String Range

The additional low-B string extends the instrument below the range of a traditional four-string bass. This allows players to perform deeper bass lines and access lower notes without changing hand position or using alternate tuning.

PowerSpan Dual Coil Pickups

The two PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups feature exposed pole pieces designed to produce a strong signal and detailed high-frequency response without reducing low-end power. The neck and bridge pickup signals can be blended to create warm, balanced, clear or focused bass sounds.

Three-Way Power Tap Switching

The three-position Power Tap switch changes the operating character of the pickups. Tap mode provides a punchy and articulate single-coil-style response, Series mode delivers a fuller humbucking sound, and Power Tap mode combines clear articulation with additional low-frequency depth.

Active Three-Band Equalisation

Dedicated bass, middle and treble controls allow the output to be shaped directly from the instrument. Players can increase low-frequency depth, adjust midrange presence or refine upper-frequency clarity for different amplifiers, recording setups and musical styles.

Adjustable Accu-cast B505 Bridge

The Accu-cast B505 bridge provides individual saddle adjustment for string height and intonation. Its adjustable lateral saddle system also allows the spacing between the strings to be customised to suit different playing preferences.
