A Bold-looking Bass with a Bold Tone to Match!

The Ibanez Limited Edition SR5XXV 25th anniversary solidbody bass puts a cool twist on their SR Premium model, giving you a great-looking instrument with wonderfully versatile tone. The first thing you'll notice about the SR5XXV is its unique color. A contoured African padauk top gives this bass both a bold look and a bold tone. Another important part of the SR5XXV's tone are its Nordstrand Big Single pickups. If you like the rich and aggressive sound of humbuckers, but demand the clarity of single-coil pickups, then your going to love playing the Ibanez Limited Edition SR5XXV 25th anniversary solidbody bass!

Ibanez Limited Edition SR5XXV 25th Anniversary Solidbody Bass at a Glance:
  • Killer combination of tonewoods with the body and bite you need
  • Nordstrand Big Single pickups deliver fat tone with single-coil clarity
  • Ibanez's Mono-Rail bridge gives you epic sustain and absolute stability

Killer combination of tonewoods with the body and bite you need
To make their Limited Edition SR5XXV 25th anniversary solidbody bass extra special, Ibanez selected a beautiful African padauk top to go with its comfortable mahogany body. The deep red color of padauk isn't the only rich thing about this top. Often used by adventurous luthiers as a substitute for rosewood, padauk gives the SR5XXV tone full projection and extra resonance, adding sustain and rich harmonic undertones to your sound. It's the perfect complement to the warm sound of mahogany, plus it looks amazing!

Nordstrand Big Single pickups deliver fat tone with single-coil clarity
Speaking of serious tone, check out the SR5XXV's phenomenal pair of pickups. Ibanez chose Nordstrand Big Single signature pickups because of their powerful, full-bodied sound. At the same time, Big Singles add incredible clarity to the SR5XXV's tone, making it a wonderful bass guitar, no matter what style of music you play.

Ibanez's Mono-Rail bridge gives you epic sustain and absolute stability
Here's another thing that makes the Limited Edition Ibanez SR5XXV a bass anyone can love: its rock-solid Mono-Rail bridge. Ibanez designed the Mono-Rail bridge to give you maximum string isolation, allowing each note you play to ring freely. And thanks to the Mono-Rail's locking-saddle design, you know the SR5XXV will hold its tuning like a champ.

Ibanez Limited Edition SR5XXV 25th Anniversary Solidbody Bass Features:
  • A fantastic-looking 5-string bass guitar with a rich yet clear tone that's great for a wide range of playing styles
  • Limited Edition model that celebrates Ibanez's 25th anniversary by putting a cool twist on their SR Premium model bass
  • Comfortable mahogany body topped with a beautiful African padauk
  • A unique combination of tonewoods provides a warm and harmonically complex tone
  • Nordstrand Big Single give you fat and aggressive sound with the clarity of traditional single-coil pickups
  • Smooth 5-piece wenge and bubinga neck that's reenforced with titanium rods for maximum stability
  • Rosewood fingerboard features elegant abalone oval inlays and medium frets
  • Mono-Rail V bridge gives you extreme string isolation and solid tuning stability
  • Deluxe gig bag included

If you're looking for an absolutely amazing 5-string bass, then the Ibanez Limited Edition SR5XXV 25th anniversary bass is for you!

One Awesome bass - so glad I bought it

by bmo from Chandler, AZ
May 10, 2012
Music Background: Soul, R&B bass player and Sound Engineer
Great craftmanship, playability, sound and beautiful dark wood color makes this bass a great buy. I've used many other basses like Fender Jazz, MusicMan, Laklands (still one of my favorites), and eve... read more [+]n a Fodera/Ken Smith early model BSR4. It compares mostly with the early Ken Smith bass on both feel and sound. I was surprised and happy that I now own my first Ibanez.

My first gig is coming up and can't wait to hook it up with my 6-10" SWR cab for that deep R&B/Funk style of playing that I do. close [-]
