5-string Ibanez Tone and Versatility
For decades, Soundgear basses from Ibanez have been holding down the low end for everything from metal to country. The SR655 5-string electric bass boasts a combination of premium tonewoods with a toneful and gorgeous ash body along with a 5-piece SR5 jatoba/bubinga neck topped with a jatoba fingerboard adorned with lovely abalone oval inlays. The SR655 is equipped with an Accu-cast B300 bridge, Nordstrand CND P and J pickups, and a 3-band EQ. Some of Sweetwater's best bassists have depended on the great tone and versatility you get with Ibanez's SR655 basses.
Precision-made with great tonewoods
Ibanez makes some very fine instruments, and the SR655 5-string bass is no exception. Ibanez chose a time- and tone-tested ash body for exceptional low-end impact, rich sustain, and gorgeous looks. And the 5-piece jatoba/bubinga neck with KTS Titanium rods doesn't just look great, it's also incredibly strong to resist warping and twisting over the years.
Great tone from Nordstrand CND P/J Pickups
Whether you're playing traditional rock or screaming metal, the SR655's pair of Nordstrand CND P/J pickups have you covered. These pickups have a rich and solid character to them, with powerful sound-shaping potential from the onboard tone controls. You have control over boost/cut for bass, mid, and high frequencies, and an EQ bypass switch.
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 rumble, the SR655 5-string electric bass can do it all.
