The SRMS805 is one of those instruments that looks unconventional at first glance — but the moment you pick it up, everything clicks. Ibanez has taken the multi-scale bass concept, once reserved for high-end boutique builds, and delivered it at a price that actually makes sense. The result is a 5-string bass that sounds as good as it plays, with tonal depth and string tension that puts budget and mid-range competitors to shame.
A Neck That Works With You, Not Against You
While the fan-fret design of the SRMS805 may look unusual, both seasoned players and curious newcomers find it feels surprisingly natural. The angled frets mirror the way your hand moves along the neck, reducing tension and fatigue during long playing sessions. The initial visual oddity quickly disappears once you start playing.
Multi-Scale Ergonomics: The fanned fret layout aligns with the natural angle of your hand, making chord shapes and fast runs feel fluid and comfortable right from the first session.
34"–35.5" Scale Length: The G-string sits at 34" while the low B stretches to 35.5", delivering the ideal string tension across all five strings for an open, resonant tone.
5-Piece Jatoba/Walnut Neck: Built for stability and sustain, the SRMS5 neck pairs a Panga Panga fretboard with medium frets and custom multi-scale inlays for a sleek, pro-level aesthetic.
Tone That Speaks for Itself
Loaded with premium components that punch well above its price point, the SRMS805 delivers a full-range, warm tone that cuts through any mix. The Bartolini® BH1-5 pickups provide exceptional punch, while the onboard preamp offers precise control over your sound. From deep, low-end growl to crisp, articulate highs, this bass covers serious sonic ground.
Bartolini® BH1-5 Pickups: These passive pickups are known for their warm, detailed character, capturing everything from smooth fingerstyle tones to aggressive slap bass with clarity and depth.
3-Band EQ with Bypass Switch: Shape your low, mid, and high frequencies independently, and use the bypass switch to toggle back to the raw pickup signal whenever the moment calls for it.
Mid-Frequency Switch: Dial in the exact midrange character your playing style demands, giving you greater flexibility across different genres and playing environments.
Hardware Built for Precision
Every component on the SRMS805 is chosen with purpose. The Mono-Rail VS Bridge is designed specifically for fan-fret instruments, allowing each string's mini-bridge to be positioned independently for optimal intonation and superior string vibration transfer. Combined with the Poplar Burl/Okoume body, you get an instrument that's both acoustically alive and visually striking.
Mono-Rail VS Bridge: Each string saddle can be individually adjusted to match the multi-scale geometry, ensuring accurate intonation across the full range of the neck.
Poplar Burl/Okoume Body: The lightweight Okoume core keeps the bass comfortable during long gigs, while the Poplar Burl top adds natural resonance and a distinctive, high-end look.
Custom Multi-Scale Inlays: The fretboard inlays are designed specifically for the fan-fret layout, serving as clean visual guides while adding to the instrument's refined, boutique-inspired appearance.
Dive into the Deep End
The Ibanez SRMS805 makes high-end, custom shop features accessible without compromising on tone, hardware, or build quality. It's a serious instrument at a great price for experienced bassists ready to explore new sonic territory.
