Ibanez loaded the SRMS625EX with a purpose-built 3-band EQ so you can tweak your sound until it shakes the rafters. You'll appreciate the improved string feel and intonation provided by the ultra-playable multi-scale frets. The Iron Label SRMS625EX includes an MR5 bridge for string-to-string isolation, a 5-piece maple/walnut neck, and blacked-out hardware. The Ibanez Iron Label SRMS625EX will help you bring the thunder every time you plug it in.
Multi-scale frets make for a better-feeling bass
If you've never played on multi-scale frets before, you're missing out! The Ibanez Iron Label SRMS625EX has a multi-scale fingerboard with a 35.5-inch scale on the fifth string and a 34-inch scale for the first string. This configuration helps equalize tension across the strings and simultaneously improves intonation. What's more, multi-scale fingerboards encourage proper hand positioning as you move up and down the neck.
Bartolini BH2 pickups for a huge sound
Bartolini BH2 pickups maintain a superb balance between the Iron Label SRMS625EX's clarity and depth. They provide complexity and warmth in the mids and low-end depth that won't wash out. Long-blade pole pieces allow these dual-coil pickups to offer hum-free single-coil-style character and consistency. When you want to sculpt your SRMS625EX's tone, just reach for the 3-band EQ. This active equalizer delivers wide frequency-range adjustments on each band. There's also a 3-way midrange switch that lets you define your instrument's presence. Whether you want round R&B throb or responsive thumb-technique punch, the SRMS625EX delivers.
