The Ibanez SR Workshop Series SRMS805 is a five-string electric bass guitar featuring a poplar burl top, a walnut and maple body, a double-cutaway design, and a deep twilight finish. It sports a five-piece, bolt-on walnut/jatoba neck with a bound panga panga fingerboard, 24 medium frets, and a scale measuring 34.0 to 35.5". This multi-scale design accommodates the different hand positions bassists naturally assume when moving around the neck, resulting in a more comfortable experience. It also helps to engender a more open and alive tone from the instrument. For electronics, this bass offers two dual-coil Bartolini BH2 pickups, which allow for a wide and balanced frequency range with tight lows, punchy mids, and smooth highs. The pickups are passive, but the bass boasts an active EQ section with a bypass switch and a three-way mid-frequency selector. You'll find controls for treble, mid, and bass boost/cut, as well as volume and balance. Strings are affixed to the body by means of a fixed MR5S bridge.
