When you pick up an Ibanez SR405E electric bass, you're instantly greeted with that signature Ibanez feel. In fact, you'll be surprised by how close the Ibanez SR405E plays and sounds like its higher-end SR series siblings. That feel and general vibe is due in large part to the SR405E's sleek 5-piece maple/rosewood neck and its comfortable mahogany arched body, topped with a great-looking piece of quilt maple. As for tone, this one's loaded with two sonically-flexible Ibanez PowerSpan humbucking pickups plus a 3-band EQ. All things considered, the Ibanez SR405E represents a sweet value for any bassist.





Puts signature Ibanez feel into an affordable package





Finally, the feel of a big-time bass loaded into an awesome, reasonably priced package. Perfect for newcomers to the low end, the Ibanez SR405E sports Ibanez's signature sleek and comfortable playing feel. It has a 5-piece maple and rosewood neck, a comfortably contoured mahogany body, and a dark jatoba fingerboard that provides contrast to the SR405E's striking body color.





Versatile sound for any style





Ibanez basses are used in every style of music from metal to rock to jazz fusion. The versatile pickups and active electronics let you shape your tone to best fit the gig. From the scooped mids for slapping and popping to massive low-end rumble the SR405E can do it all.
