Ibanez SR305 in Root Beer Metallic, (Used)

The Ibanez SR305 in Root Beer Metallic is a 5‑string electric bass built around a lightweight, contoured mahogany body with a gloss Root Beer Metallic finish. Its bolt‑on maple neck features a slim SR5 profile designed for fast, comfortable playability, paired with a rosewood fingerboard that has 24 medium frets and dot inlays. The 5‑string scale length (34″) and ergonomic neck shape help maintain balanced tension and smooth navigation across all registers.

Electronics on the SR305 include a pair of Ibanez CAP Soapbar pickups tailored to deliver balanced clarity, punchy low end, and defined mids and highs across the extended bass range. A 3‑band active EQ system with independent Bass, Middle, and Treble controls allows precise tonal shaping, enabling deep, warm lows; articulate mids; and crisp highs. The active circuitry gives the player flexibility to dial in tones suited to funk, jazz, rock, pop, or modern bass styles with ease.

Hardware consists of a solid bridge with adjustable saddles for accurate intonation and string spacing, plus sealed tuners engineered for tuning stability. The SR305’s slim neck‑joint heel and lightweight body contribute to a comfortable playing experience, whether standing or seated. The combination of versatile electronics, ergonomic construction, and a polished Root Beer Metallic finish makes this bass suitable for a wide range of musical contexts.
