Ibanez SRMS625EX BKF Iron Label Multiscale 5 String Electric Bass Guitar - Black Flat

Ibanez SRMS625EX BKF Iron Label Multiscale 5 String Electric Bass Guitar - Black Flat

The Ibanez SRMS625EX BKF Iron Label Multiscale 5 String Electric Bass Guitar, finished in Black Flat, was created with metal, and nothing but metal, in mind. To the newcomer, the multi-scale concept may appear a bit unusual, but the biggest surprise may be how comfortable players become within a minute or two of playing the instrument. The different fret-to-bridge distances enhance tonality, creating a better sounding bass. This multiscale SR bass is the culmination of years of Ibanez' tweaking and modding their Iron Label series, until they created the heaviest-hitting shred machines that they've ever built. You won't find a single feature on the purposefully spartan SR that doesn't contribute directly to producing bone rattling, earth shattering tones that get you hooked, and make you never want to put this bass down. With blacked out aesthetics, and supercharged electronics, this is one seriously metal axe.

The Ibanez SRMS625EX BKF features a strong and stable 5pc Maple/Walnut neck, which provides enhanced sustain and stability, as well as greater tonal clarity and attack. The multi-scale design equalises tension, helping to create a more alive, open tone. It also makes for more comfortable playability; multi-scale construction ergonomically coordinates with the way a player's hand angles as it moves up and down the neck, facilitating quick, comfortable playing action. An Ebonol fretboard produces tight lows and mid range, strong bright attack in the high end, and features a quick response and rich sustain. The SR's Mono-Rail V Bridge is the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation. Each saddle is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference.

An Okoume body provides a bright and solid tonal foundation, that pairs perfectly with a pair of Bartolini BH2 pickups. BH2s provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response. An Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-Band EQ gives you even greater control over your sound, via simple and straightforward EQ controls. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centred on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favourable bass tones. The EQ bypass control offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit. An additional 3-way Mid frequency switch allow players to change the mid-tone between 250, 450, and 700 Hz. 

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Ibanez SRMS625EX BKF Iron Label Multiscale 5 String Electric Bass Guitar, in Black Flat, is perfect for anyone looking for a spartan shred machine that lives and breathes metal.
