Eye-catching 5-string Bass with Stellar Tone

The Ibanez SR605E electric bass is a no-nonsense machine with an eye-catching design and quality craftsmanship. Featuring a resonant, lightweight ash body with a satin finish, this bass kicks out stellar tone. The 5-piece jatoba/walnut neck with rosewood fingerboard is incredibly playable and responsive, great for laying down solid grooves. A pair of Nordstrand Big Break pickups also gives you a variety of sounds to explore. Round it out with custom Ibanez electronics and a 3-band EQ, and you get a full-force 5-string bass that's perfect for any playing situation you can imagine.

Big Break pickups for massive sound

Designed by renowned pickup builder Carey Nordstrand, Nordstrand Big Break pickups pump out powerful aggression and grit when used with the SR605E. By cramming a split-coil into a soapbar-style pup, Big Break pickups produce a massive, full-bodied sound while still retaining the clarity and character of a single-coil. Sweetwater bassists love the added benefit of noiseless operation for cleaner tone, and you will, too.

Responsive neck made to play

Constructed using a 5-piece jatoba/walnut neck topped with a rosewood fingerboard, the SR605E’s beautifully smooth and responsive neck is ideal for fast runs, smooth grooves, and chugging pick-driven attack. The 34-inch scale length and 24 medium frets on the SR605E feel great and sound even better; plus, the addition of an Accu-cast B505 bridge lends stellar sustain and tone support to any style of play.

Rated 5/5

My favorite 5 string bass!

This bass is absolutely phenomenal! Finish is beautiful and right out of the box it was setup perfect. Super fun bass to play and very lightweight for a 5 string. On top of that you can dial in any tone with the adjustment of a knob or switch truly versatile instrument.
Rated 5/5

Amazing quality

This is an amazing bass for the price tag that it has, the only thing I didn't like about it was the strings that it comes with, but put some DR strings on this and it sounds like basses that cost twice as much
Music background: 7 years on bass. 2 years on drums
Rated 5/5

Incredibly versatile bass.

There are basses that cost double that aren't half as good as the 605.
Music background: The Vatican’s
