01 — Full details

The Ibanez Premium SR5FMDX2 5-string bass guitar is a stunning instrument that's designed for players who demand the very best. With a gorgeous flamed maple/ash top on a mahogany body, this bass delivers warm, rich tone with plenty of bright clarity that's perfect for a wide range of musical styles. The body is bolted to an ultra-playable 5-piece panga panga/purpleheart neck with a flamed maple fingerboard that provides a smooth and comfortable playing surface for your fingers.

At the heart of the Premium SR5FMDX2 are a pair of Nordstrand Big Single pickups, which deliver powerful and aggressive tone that's perfect for everything from slap and pop to heavy rock and metal. These pickups are wired to an active 3-band EQ that gives you complete control over your tone, allowing you to dial in everything from deep, punchy lows to clear, shimmering highs. The EQ also features a mid-frequency switch that lets you fine-tune your midrange, as well as an EQ bypass switch for even more tonal flexibility.

The Premium SR5FMDX2's neck is supremely playable, with a slim Atlas-5 carve that provides a comfortable grip for players of all styles and skill levels. The neck features Ibanez's exclusive Premium fret edge treatment, which ensures that every note rings out clearly and cleanly. The birdseye maple fingerboard is adorned with medium frets and dot inlays, making it easy to navigate your way around the neck.

In addition to its exceptional tonal capabilities, the Premium SR5FMDX2 also features a number of high-quality hardware components that make it a joy to play. The MR5S bridge provides a wide range of intonation options, and each saddle is adjustable +/-1.5 millimeters, allowing you to fine-tune your string spacing to your exact specifications. The bridge also features Teflon washers for smooth tuning action, and each saddle has its own fine tuner for even more precise adjustments.

Other premium features on the Ibanez Premium SR5FMDX2 5-string bass guitar include KTS Titanium reinforcement rods, which provide added stability to the neck and prevent it from warping or bending over time. The bass also comes with a TUSQ nut, which ensures that your strings stay in tune and provides excellent sustain and resonance. With its exceptional playability, stunning looks, and versatile tone, the Ibanez Premium SR5FMDX2 is a top-of-the-line bass that's sure to impress even the most demanding players.
