A Bass for the Seasoned Musician

Built with an okoume body that provides it with resonant qualities and a tight low end, the Ibanez Bass Workshop SRMS725 is ready for serious work at every gig. A 5-piece maple/walnut neck makes a fine tonal complement while supplying excellent comfort and stability. The SRMS725's multi-scale fingerboard offers optimal tension and playability. Experience superior intonation and vibration transference, thanks to a Mono-rail VS bridge. A duo of Fishman Fluence pickups hit versatility on the head and offer tons of sonic sculpting tools, such as a 2-band EQ, a blend knob, a push-pull pot, and a 3-way mini toggle switch. To top it all off, the Bass Workshop SRMS725 features high-quality hardware for a sleek, eye-catching look.

Better comfort, tension, and tone

Multi-scale frets are an exciting new trend in high-end bass guitar design. They yield a longer scale on the bass side of the instrument and a shorter scale on the treble side, offering you better intonation and more consistent tension and attack from string to string. And while getting used to them may look like it will be quite an undertaking, Sweetwater bassists insist that it's a very natural transition. And the better intonation, consistent string tension, and more open tone far outweigh any difference from other basses.

Fishman nails versatility thanks to Multi-voice performance

Tonal versatility is the name of the game. And you're primed to win with the Fishman Fluence Soapbar pickups nested inside of this Ibanez Bass Workshop’s body. Fishman utilized their Fluence Core technology to bring bassists a pickup that can go from A to Z in the blink of an eye with incredible articulation. This Multi-voice pickup is free from hum, can go from active to passive, and can be split for single-coil operation that’s J-style all the way. Voice #1 is classic, fat and round while Voice #2 offers full frequency and dynamics. Turn on the mid contour with Voice #2 and get ready for funky, hi-fi scooped sound. A 2-band EQ, a blend knob, a push-pull pot, and a 3-way mini toggle switch outfit you for comprehensive sonic sculpting and experimentation that’s out of this world.

Mono-rail VS bridge for ultimate string isolation

The Mono-rail VS bridge installed on the Bass Workshop SRMS725 solves the issue of too much string crosstalk some other basses struggle with. When you play a string, sympathetic vibrations can set the other strings into motion. But by separating the bridge into five independent "mini bridges," the Mono-rail VS maximizes vibration transfer without interference from the other strings. Ibanez goes so far as to call the Mono-rail VS "the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation." Each bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference.
