Ibanez SR305EBL-WK

The Ibanez SR305EBL-WK is a 5-string left-handed electric bass from the Soundgear SR series, designed for players who need extended low-end range while maintaining the slim, ergonomic feel of the SR platform. It features an SR5 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck, Jatoba fretboard with white dot inlays and a 24-fret, 34-inch scale-length design. The left-handed configuration makes it particularly suitable for bassists who prefer a naturally mirrored playing setup. (Ibanez)

The bass uses a pair of passive PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups combined with Ibanez Custom Electronics featuring a 3-band EQ and 3-way Power Tap switch. The switching system provides Tap, Series and Power Tap modes, allowing the player to access sharper, more articulate tones, fuller humbucking sounds or a combination of clarity and enhanced low-end response. The active bass, mid and treble controls provide additional tonal flexibility for different playing styles and amplification systems. (Ibanez)

For reliable string support, the SR305EBL-WK is fitted with an Accu-cast B125 bridge with 16.5 mm string spacing and black hardware. It comes factory tuned G-D-A-E-B and uses D’Addario EXL165 strings with a .130 low-B string. The WK finish is Weathered Black, giving the instrument a dark, understated appearance while retaining the practical and performance-focused design of the SR series. (Ibanez)
