Ibanez Standard SR305E-RBM Root Beer Metallic

PowerSpan humbucker with active 3-band tone control

The pickups on the Standard SR305E-RBM Root Beer Metallic are Ibanez PowerSpan dual-coil pickups specially developed for this bass. In combination with the active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control they cover a variable sound spectrum. Whether transparent solo and jazz sounds, dirty rock growl or rich thrust from the deepest bass cellar, the four-string always has the right setting for every style ready and presents even the low B-string precisely.

Power-Tap-Switch for sound variability

A special feature of the Ibanez Standard SR305E-RBM Root Beer Metallic is furthermore the Power-Tap switch, which switches the coils of both humbuckers from the powerful series circuit to Tap or PowerTap mode. While the former delivers authentic single-coil sounds with typical clarity and tone definition, the latter adds a fundamental bass component to this sound.

High-quality hardware with unwavering reliability

On the body side, the strings of the Standard SR305E-RBM Root Beer Metallic electric bass from Ibanez are held in place by the tried-and-tested Accu-Cast B125 bridge, which, thanks to its solid construction, contributes significantly to the bass's long and even decaying sustain. At the same time, 16.5 mm string spacing provides room for clean strokes even with a hearty grip, while the ball ends that hook in from the top make string changes much easier. At the headstock, the strings are held by reliable die-cast tuners that guarantee precise tuning.
