SRMS: The Soundgear Spirit, Optimized in Multi-scale
The SRMS805L follows the tradition of Ibanez Soundgear basses: a design focused on playing speed, ergonomics, and versatility. The SRMS series takes the concept further with multi-scale, enhancing note definition (especially on the low string) while maintaining a natural feel under the hand. The "L" suffix denotes a configuration tailored for left-handed bassists.
Who It's For and Suitable Styles
Thanks to its slim neck, 24 frets, and comprehensive electronics, this 5-string bass is aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a modern, precise, and comfortable instrument. It excels in metal, rock, fusion, funk, gospel, and studio settings, wherever a clean low end, sharp attack, and quick on-stage EQ adjustments are expected.
Sound Characteristics
The combination of a poplar burl top and okoumé body provides a balanced and responsive foundation with clear attack. The panga panga fingerboard delivers tight lows and mids along with a cutting high end, ideal for clarity in dense mixes. The Bartolini BH2 (passive, dual-coil) pickups emphasize definition and articulation, while the 3-band EQ and 3-position mid-frequency selector allow switching from modern punch to a rounder tone. In bypass mode, the bass operates passively, with the treble knob serving as a master tone control.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay within recommended references, you can choose the Ibanez MRB350C case or the Ibanez IBB540-BK gig bag (recommended models). Alternatively, the D'Addario EXL170-5SL strings in gauges .045/.065/.080/.100/.130 match the factory setup.
