Ibanez SRMS725-BCM SR Multiscale 5 String Bass, Blue Chameleon

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.

Panga Panga Fretboard
Panga Panga features a beautiful wood grain which produces a tight low and mid range, along with a sharp attack on high end.

Okoume Body
The Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound.

Fishman® Fluence™ Pickups
These Fishman® Fluence™ pickups are the first for bass to feature stainless covers. These unique pickups deliver Fluence Multi-Voice performance, impressive dynamic range, and outstanding articulation with no extraneous noise.

Fishman® 3-band EQ
This new EQ was developed by Fishman® for Ibanez and is built around a newly added mid control. The center frequency for the mid control is 630Hz.

MR5S Bridge
The MR5S bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist’s specific string spacing needs.

Single Coil Mode Switch (Push/Pull)
The Single Coil Mode switch adds even more tonal flexibility to pickups.

Fishman® Fluence™ Voice Select Switch
The Voice Selector switch offers players a wide palette of sounds to cover all playing styles.

• Voice 1: Classic, fat and round
• Voice 2: Full frequency, full dynamics
• Voice 2 with mid contour: Funk, Hi-Fi scooped
• Single Coil Mode: Same voices as above but with a narrower magnetic field

Multi Scale
The multi scale construction equalizes tension of each string and it helps to create a more “alive”, open tone. But the design also improves player comfort. The multi scale construction ergonomically coordinates with the way a player’s hand angles as it moves up and down the neck, facilitating quick, comfortable playing action.

RATIO® Machine Heads by Graph Tech® Guitar Labs
With the new RATIO® for bass, each string has its own specific gear ratio, so that every string reacts the same to the turn of a machine head.

5 string bass is a gear of 48:1, 36:1, 30:1, 20:1, and 18:1 for the B,E,A,D, and G string, respectively. This system has created an even tuning experience that assures you that once you know what it feels like to tune one string, you will know what it will feel like to tune the rest of the strings.
