With its innovative multi-scale design, the Ibanez SR Workshop Series SRMS805L 5-String Left-Handed Electric Bass Guitar in Deep Twilight offers a unique playing experience that quickly becomes second nature. This design enhances tonality by varying the fret-to-bridge distances, resulting in a bass sound that is both rich and resonant. For over 40 years, Ibanez has been at the forefront of bass innovation, consistently pushing the boundaries of traditional design to cater to bassists of all genres. The Ibanez Bass Workshop embodies this spirit of innovation, providing musicians with instruments that inspire new levels of creativity and expression.

The SRMS805L features a 5-piece Jatoba/Walnut neck, known for its tonal clarity and superior attack, paired with a Panga Panga fretboard that delivers a tight low and mid-range with a sharp high-end attack. Medium frets ensure precise note accuracy, while the stunning Poplar Burl top and Okoume body contribute to a bright and solid sound profile.

Equipped with Bartolini BH2 pickups, this bass offers a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil configuration and long blade pole piece ensure balanced string-to-string pickup response, maximizing articulation. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ provides straightforward, effective tone control, with a unique Boost and Cut feature for the Mid Control that targets specific frequencies for optimal bass tones.

The MR5S bridge allows for adjustable saddles with variable string spacing of +/- 1.5mm, catering to the specific needs of every bassist. An EQ bypass switch offers precision tonal adjustments and includes a passive-only operation option, where the treble tone control knob serves as the global tone control for the passive circuit. Additionally, the 3-way Mid frequency switch enables players to select mid-tone frequencies of 250, 450, or 700 Hz, offering versatile tonal shaping.

The multi-scale construction not only equalizes string tension for a more vibrant and open tone but also enhances player comfort by aligning with the natural angle of the hand as it moves along the neck. This ergonomic design facilitates quick and comfortable playing, making the Ibanez SRMS805L a perfect choice for bassists seeking to explore new sonic territories.
