IBANEZ SR5 DRAGON EYE BURST

Description

For 30 years the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavoring to answer the wider needs of a variety of players, at a variety of budgets. But no matter what the specs, the heart is the same-SR continues to excite with its smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics.

5pc Maple/Walnut neck
The 5pc Maple/Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack.

Jatoba fretboard
Jatoba has a reddish brown color and produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end.

Medium frets
Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes.

Quilted Maple top / Nyatoh body
The Quilted Maple top sonically enriches the response for picking. Nyatoh used as body wood provides a rich mid-low end.

PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups
Developed by Ibanez, the exposed pole pieces of the PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups produce a stronger signal and increase the response of the higher frequencies without sacrificing low end. The result is a tone rich in harmonic detail and dynamic expression.

Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ
The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is Ibanez's latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones.

Accu-cast B300 series bridge
The Accu-cast B300 bridge affords precise intonation and delivers string-to-body vibration conductively.

3-way Power Tap switch
Accessed by the 3-way Power Tap switch, the pickups offer a choice of three tonal personalities: A rich humbucker sound, a pure single-coil sound, or an enhanced single coil sound - fattened by lows from the humbucker pickups.
