In the best Soundgear tradition, the Ibanez Standard SR305E-DOT Deep Ocean Metallic combines incomparably high playability with a modern, versatile sound spectrum. While the streamlined body made of Nyatoh and the slim maple-walnut neck contribute to the agile handling of the four-string E-Bass, the revised PowerSpan humbuckers in combination with the active 3-band tone control deliver versatile sounds for every style of music. Last but not least, Ibanez completes the SR305E-DOT Deep Ocean Metallic with reliable Hardware in the classic Cosmo Black finish.

Thanks to the Nyatoh body in the typical, flowing Soundgear design, the SR300E Bass hugs the player and thus offers a robust playing position both sitting on the leg and standing on the strap. The four-piece bolt-on neck is made from five pieces of maple and walnut, while the flat "SR4" profile sits comfortably in the hand and allows fast basslines and complex grooves to flow easily from the jatoba fingerboard.

The pickups used on the SR300E-DOT Deep Ocean Metallic are Ibanez PowerSpan dual-coil pickups specially developed for this Bass, which cover a variable sound spectrum in conjunction with the active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control. Whether transparent solo and jazz sounds, dirty rock growl or rich thrust from the deepest bass cellar, the four-string always has the right setting for every style and also accurately reproduces lower tunings.

Another special feature of the Ibanez SR305E-DOT Deep Ocean Metallic bass guitar is the power tap switch, which switches the coils of both humbuckers from the powerful series circuit to tap or power tap mode. While the former delivers authentic single-coil sounds with typical clarity and tone definition, the latter adds a fundamental bass component to this sound.

Last but not least, Ibanez equips the Standard SR305E-DOT Deep Ocean Metallic Bass with reliable Hardware in the classic Cosmo Black Finish design. On the body side, the strings are attached to the tried-and-tested Accu-Cast B125 bridge, whose solid construction supports the sustain-rich sound character of the bass guitar. The string saddles can be individually adjusted for intonation and string position and, with a string spacing of 16.5 mm, offer sufficient space for clean strumming even with a bold playing style, while the top-mounted Ball-Ends make it much easier to change the strings. Ibanez die-cast bass tuners on the headstock also keep the Bass securely in tune.
