Ibanez SR375EF-BBT

The Ibanez SR375EF-BBT is a 5-string fretless electric bass from the Soundgear SR series, combining the extended range of a low-B string with the smooth, expressive character of fretless playing. Its slim SR5 5-piece Maple/Walnut neck is paired with a Maple body and Jatoba fretboard, providing a comfortable platform for slides, vibrato and precise intonation control. The 34-inch scale and 24-fretless-note layout retain the familiar dimensions of a conventional 5-string SR bass. (Ibanez)

The bass is equipped with a pair of passive Ibanez PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups and Ibanez Custom Electronics with a 3-band EQ and 3-way Power Tap switch. The switching system provides three tonal modes: Tap for a more articulate single-coil character, Series for a fuller humbucking sound, and Power Tap for a combination of clarity and enhanced low-end response. The onboard EQ provides independent bass, mid and treble control for shaping the instrument to different playing styles and amplification setups. (Ibanez)

For stable string support, the SR375EF-BBT uses an Accu-cast B125 bridge with 16.5 mm string spacing and Cosmo Black hardware. It has a 45 mm nut, 305 mm fretboard radius and 864 mm (34-inch) scale length. The BBT finish denotes Brown Burst, giving the bass a traditional appearance while retaining the understated hardware and ergonomic styling of the SR series. (Ibanez)
