From Our Research Team:

Amazingly Versatile 5-string, Equally Amazing Low Price!

What do you look for in a 5-string bass? The tone? The versatility? The feel? All three? Pick up the SR705 from Ibanez, and you get the total package - including a fantastic 3-band onboard EQ with a "mid-frequency select" switch. You'll love the way this very comfortable bass lets you dial in the deep bass tones, while its beautiful figured maple top gives you the looks you love, too. The SR705 comes loaded with two excellent Bartolini humbucking pickups, and its 5-piece Jatoba/bubinga neck plays amazingly fast and easy. Best of all, this incredible bass is affordably priced!

  • Puts signature Ibanez feel into an affordable package
  • Versatile sound for any style
  • Jammed with tone, courtesy of humbucking pickups and Style Sweeper EQ

Puts signature Ibanez feel into an affordable package
Finally, the feel of a high-end bass loaded into an awesomely reasonable priced package. The Ibanez SR705 sports Ibanez's signature "sleek and comfortable" playing feel. It's got a 5-piece jatoba and bubinga neck, a comfortably contoured mahogany body, and a dark rosewood fingerboard that provides contrast to the SR705's striking body color.

Versatile sound for any style
Ibanez basses are used in every style of music from metal to rock to jazz fusion. The versatile pickups and active electronics let you shape your tone to best fit the gig. From the scooped mids for slapping and popping to massive low-end 5-string rumble the SR705 can do it all.

Jammed with tone, courtesy of humbucking pickups and Style Sweeper EQ
Get ready for serious low-end juice. The Ibanez SR705 features two Bartolini MK1 humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets. To make the most out of the pickups - and to help you dial in the right bass tone - the SR705 is also loaded with the powered Style Sweeper equalization system. With the Style Sweeper, you can quickly select among carefully contoured tones - ones that are equalized to make the most out of a variety of playing styles. It's a great way to really nail a modern or classic sound, without much fiddling at all.

I am a very particular consumer, but I liked the price point (as this is a backup for my magical Sadowsky 5 string.) How often do you use a backup after-all?

Anyway, it showed up (with an ... read more [+]outstanding fit and finish). While I prefer a flatter neck to fit my hand, this C shape neck was doable and the tone was very, very good. I run it thru GK heads and amps.

Bandmates were quite impressed with the overall experience and it is a keeper. I would buy the unit again if this one went walk-away. I would love to have a high-end Lakland or a second Sadowsky, but I live in reality. For experienced and picky bass players, it will get the job done.

I am old school (P-Bass use for years), but I rolled the dice to have a second 5 string ready to go to just in case. Moreover , it works for me in rehearsal as it has nice balance and weight. I just wish the neck was more to my liking. Otherwise, it would have a top grade rating. close [-]
