Ibanez SRMS725-BCM, Blue Chameleon

Full Description

Rich Tonewoods

The Ibanez SRMS725-BCM features a 5pc Maple/Walnut neck, offering not only tonal clarity but also superior attack. The combination of these two woods provides a balanced and articulate sound, allowing for excellent note definition and projection. Equipped with a Panga Panga fretboard, the SRMS725-BCM delivers a rich and dynamic tonal response. Its tight low and mid-range frequencies produce a resonant and punchy sound, while the sharp attack on the high-end ensures your bass cuts through the mix with clarity and presence. The final wood at the heart of this bass is an Okoume body, known for its bright and solid sound.

Fishman Fluence Pickups

The SRMS725-BCM comes equipped with Fishman Fluence pickups, making it the first bass in the Ibanez lineup to feature these innovative pickups with stainless steel covers. The Fluence set delivers multi-voice performance, allowing you to explore a wide range of tonal possibilities. With impressive dynamic range and outstanding articulation, these pickups ensure that every nuance of your playing is faithfully reproduced. Developed specifically for Ibanez by Fishman, the 3-band EQ found in the SRMS725-BCM offers precise control over your bass's tone. With a newly added mid control set at a center frequency of 630Hz, you can shape your sound to suit any playing style or musical genre completely noiselessly. To round out the versatility of these pickups, a single coil switch lets you achieve classic single coil tones with the familiar rounded twang of vintage basses.

MR5S Bridge

With its MR5S bridge, the SRMS725-BCM offers adjustable saddles for variable string spacing. This feature allows you to customize the spacing between the strings to your specific preferences, ensuring optimal playability and comfort. Whether you prefer a wider string spacing for intricate fingerstyle playing or a narrower spacing for fast and aggressive picking, the MR5S bridge has you covered. This level of customization ensures that you can tailor the instrument to suit your individual playing style.
