When it comes to your bass sound, sustain is just as important as tone for keeping your band’s arrangements sounding full and solid. And while pedals and effects can help, wouldn’t it be better to just know it’s there, at your beck-and-call… without all the gimmicks and gadgets?
Well, get ready ‘cause those innovators down at the Ibanez Bass Workshop have done it again. The SRSC805 will give you all the sustain you need…and then some. With an extended upper bout that connects all the way to the 13th fret of a Neck-Through 5-piece SR5 neck, and a Mono-Rail V bridge…you get powerful sustain, while still enjoying the benefits of reasonably light weight and mobility that SR has always offered.
More compact than other basses of its type, the five-string SRSC805 “Cerro” boasts a design that seamlessly integrates the body to the neck from the 24th to the 13th fret for maximum stability and increased sustain. A Mahogany body with a Poplar Burl top takes on the sinuous contours of the SR body style. A neck-through SR5 5-piece sculpted neck, with a Purpleheart fretboard, provides a smooth, fast playing surface and Bartolini MK-1 pickups team up with the Ibanez Custom 3-band EQ, for a full range of tonal options.
For 25 years the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavoring to answer the wider needs of a variety of players, at a variety of budgets. But no matter what the specs, the heart is the same-SR continues to excite with its smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics.
Features
Horn: The SRSC’s extended upper horn between the 13th and 24th frets far exceeds, in terms of performance, the traditional connection between the instruments neck and body.
Scoop Cut Back: Sculpted for comfort and easy access to the upper frets, the smooth graceful contour allows the palm on the left hand to move quickly and easily as it transitions up and down the neck.

Mono-Rail V Bridge: The Mono Rail bridge delivers the ultimate in string to string isolation, allowing each string to vibrate optimally without being affected by the others.
Bartolini Mk-1 Pickups: The full clear tone of Bartolini Mk-1 Pickups provide a tight bottom end with a mid range that is articulate without being harsh.
