Noble Soundgear Bass with beautiful woods and first-class sound.
The Ibanez Premium SR5FMDX-NTL Natural Low Gloss is a sophisticated interpretation of the popular Soundgear Bass with an elaborate construction and top-class features. While tonewoods in the form of curly maple, mahogany, purpleheart and panga panga create the basis for a lively sound, the slim body and narrow neck profile promise excellent playing characteristics. Nordstrand Big Single pickups and an active Ibanez Custom ElectronicsPreamp elicit powerful, noble bass sounds from the bass amplifier, which are equally suitable for virtuoso solo playing or accompanying a band, while hardware in the form of monorail bridges and Gotoh tuners completes the premium SR5FMDX-NTL Natural Low Gloss E-Bass from Ibanez.
The Ibanez Premium SR5FMDX-NTL Natural Low Gloss presents itself as a noble soundgear bass with high-quality woods and first-class features.
The five-piece "Atlas-5" neck with a silky oil finish is bolted five times to the elaborately built body.
Elaborate construction, high playing comfort
For the elaborate construction of the premium SR5FMDX Bass, Ibanez uses first-class tonewoods that give the Bass a lively sound character. The mahogany body is fitted with a top and back made of flamed maple and ash, while the five-piece neck made of panga panga and purpleheart is reinforced with titanium rods and has a fretboard made of curly maple. The slim "Atlas-5" neck profile and the silky oil finish on the back of the neck promise butter-soft playing characteristics right up to the highest registers so that both band grooves and virtuoso solos 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
Two Nordstrand Big Single pickups are responsible for the electrical sound conversion of the Premium SR5FMDX E-Bass. The classic soapbar housings each accommodate a split-coil pickup with angled pole pieces, which delivers a full Bass sound with the right amount of aggression and fine resolution. To be able to adjust the tone of the bass guitar optimally to your own ideas, Ibanez also equips the SR5FMDX with an active Custom Electronics preamp, whose 3-band tone control provides three selectable center frequencies for the mid-range control. Thanks to the EQ bypass switch, the Bass can also be played passively.
Gotoh bass tuners on the headstock of the Premium Soundgear SR5FMDX ensure precise and stable tuning.
High-quality hardware
Last but not least, Ibanez completes the premium SR5FMDX-NTL Natural Low Gloss E-Bass with high-quality hardware. Five Ibanez MR5S monorail bridges on the body allow precise adjustment of intonation and string action, while Gotoh bass tuners on the headstock promise accurate tuning with unshakeable stability.
