An SR from the 400 Series: The Modern Ibanez "Feel," Designed for Versatility
The SR405EQM embodies Ibanez's "Soundgear" spirit: a modern, ergonomic bass designed to cover a wide range of styles. In the SR lineup, this 5-string configuration combines comfort-oriented luthiery (thin neck profile, access to higher frets) with comprehensive electronics, ideal for quickly switching from a punchy sound to a rounder, more massive foundation.Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This 5-string bass is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced bassists who want to extend their range with a low string without sacrificing playability. Its highly adaptable approach makes it relevant in modern rock, metal, funk, gospel, pop, and studio settings, especially when alternating between pick, slap, and fingerstyle playing.The Sound
The PowerSpan Dual Coil duo delivers a solid signal rich in harmonic content, with clarity that remains readable even on the 5th string. The 3-band EQ allows quick fine-tuning of the bass/mids/treble balance, while the 3-way Power Tap opens up three tonal characters: a more punchy and articulate "Tap" mode, a denser and warmer "Series" mode, and a "Power Tap" mode that blends clarity and thickness. On the luthiery side, the combination of a spalted maple top and nyatoh body promotes a sharp attack and strong presence, while the jatoba fingerboard enhances rich mids with precise highs.Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay close to the original setup, opt for 5-string bass long scale 34" / 864 mm strings, such as the D'Addario EXL165+ (.045/.065/.085/.105/.130) set. For transport, the MB300C case and the IBB540-BK gig bag are recommended by the manufacturer.Technical specifications
