Elaborate construction, high playing comfort.
For the elaborate construction of the Premium SR5CMDX Bass, Ibanez relies on premium tonewoods that give the Bass a lively sound character. Here, the ash body is fitted with top and back made of curly maple, purpleheart and walnut, while the five-piece neck made of panga panga and purpleheart is reinforced by titanium rods and carries a panga panga fingerboard. The slim "Atlas-5" neck profile and the silky Finish of the neck back promise buttery smooth playing characteristics up to the highest registers, so that both band-serving grooves and virtuoso solo interludes can be realized with ease.
Nordstrand Big Single pickups and an active 3-band EQ give the Premium SR5FMDX a versatile sound spectrum.
Nordstrand pickups and active equalizer
The electrical tone conversion of the Premium SR5CMDX E-Bass is handled by two Nordstrand Big Single pickups. The chic wooden housings in soapbar format each house an extremely hot-wound single coil pickup with angled pole pieces, which delivers rich bass sounds with well-measured aggressiveness and cultivated detail. To be able to adjust the tone of the bass guitar optimally to your own ideas, Ibanez also equips the SR5CMDX with an active Custom Electronics preamp, whose 3-band tone control provides three selectable center frequencies for the mid control. Thanks to the EQ bypass switch, the Bass can also be played passively.
Gotoh bass tuners provide accurate and stable tuning at the headstock of the Premium Soundgear SR5CMDX.
High quality Hardware in gold finish
Last but not least, Ibanez completes the premium SR5CMDX-BIL Black Ice Low Gloss E-Bass with high-quality Hardware in gold finish. Five Ibanez MR5S mono-rail bridges on the body allow precise adjustment of intonation and string action, while on the headstock Gotoh bass machine heads promise accurate tuning with unshakable stability.
