Ibanez SRMS725-BCM 5-String Bass in Blue Chameleon

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 guitar.

The fretboard is made out of Panga Panga, which features a stunning woodgrain that produces a tight low and mid-range, complete with a sharp attack on the high end. The frets are of a medium size, which enhance the accuracy of your notes.

Multi-Scale Performance

The multi scale construction equalizes tension of each string and it helps to create a more ”alive”, open tone. But the design also improves player comfort. The 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.

Voicings

The Voice Selector switch offers players a wide palette of sounds to cover all playing styles.

• Voice 1 (Passive): Classic, fat and round
• Voice 2 (Active): Full frequency, full dynamics
• Voice 2 (Active with mid contour): Funk, Hi-Fi scooped

Single Coil Mode: Same voices as above but with a narrower magnetic field
