Ibanez SR305EDX-RGC

The Ibanez SR305EDX-RGC is a 5-string electric bass from the Soundgear SR series, built around Ibanez’s slim, ergonomic SR body shape and extended-range configuration. The instrument features an SR5 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck, a Nyatoh body and a Jatoba fretboard with white dot inlays. Its 34-inch scale length, 45 mm nut width and 24 medium frets provide a comfortable platform for both traditional bass lines and extended low-B playing. The RGC version features the distinctive Rose Gold Chameleon finish with gold hardware. (Meinl)

The SR305EDX-RGC uses a pair of passive PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups, paired with Ibanez Custom Electronics featuring a 3-band EQ and 3-way Power Tap switch. The three pickup modes provide different tonal responses: Tap mode offers a more articulate, single-coil-style character, Series mode delivers a fuller humbucking sound, while Power Tap combines enhanced clarity with stronger low-end response. The onboard bass, mid and treble controls allow further adjustment of the instrument's overall tonal balance. (Ibanez)

For stable string support, the bass is equipped with an Accu-cast B505 bridge with 16.5 mm string spacing and gold hardware. It is factory tuned G-D-A-E-B and supplied with D’Addario EXL165 strings featuring a .130 low-B string. The Rose Gold Chameleon finish changes subtly with viewing angle and complements the gold hardware, giving this version a distinctive appearance while retaining the practical performance-focused design of the SR series.
