Ibanez SR505E-BAB active 5 string bass bartolini black aurora / purple finish

Chris (MD, Guitar Mania) says:
“The first thing you’ll notice about this bass is the looks! It’s got a colour shifting metallic purple finish that seems to change depending on the angle of view. Then it’s the sleek shape. Then the feel and finally the tone. This bass is quality all the way. And like all instruments here, we’ve had this one on the bench and set it up, checking (and adjusting where necessary) the action, truss rod, intonation and electrics. We do this because we’re enthusiastic musicians ourselves and never let a guitar or bass out of the shop unless we are happy. Buy in confidence!”

Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch & Mid frequency switch

Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is our latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones.
Precision tonal control, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypasses activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.
