Ibanez SR305E – Versatile 5-String Performance with Signature SR Feel
The Ibanez SR305E brings Ibanez’s iconic SR shape and exceptional playability to the 5-string world with a sleek, comfortable design and powerful, versatile electronics. Its lightweight Nyatoh body ensures resonant, balanced tone while remaining easy on the shoulders for long sessions. The 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck offers superior stability and tonal clarity, with a fast, comfortable profile that makes it easy to explore the full range of the fretboard.

The Jatoba fingerboard delivers strong midrange punch and crisp highs, making every note clear and defined. PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups produce articulate, harmonically rich sound with excellent dynamics. Paired with Ibanez’s Custom Electronics 3-band EQ and 3-way Power Tap switch, the SR305E offers everything from tight, punchy single-coil tones to warm, full humbucker sounds—and a hybrid mode for the best of both worlds.

The Accu-cast B125 bridge ensures rock-solid intonation with 16.5mm string spacing for comfortable playing, even during complex runs or fingerstyle grooves. Finished in Cosmo black hardware, the SR305E is a stage-ready 5-string built for bassists who want it all.
