The Ibanez SR5CMDX Premium Soundgear 5-string bass guitar is a masterful blend of art and engineering, designed for musicians who demand both aesthetic and auditory excellence. This dynamic instrument is constructed with an Atlas 5-piece neck made from panga panga and purpleheart, reinforced with KTS Titanium rods, ensuring durability, stability, and an extended sustain. The panga panga fingerboard contributes to a tight low and midrange while offering a crisp attack on the high end.

The body features a stunning combination of curly maple, purpleheart, and bubinga, which not only enhances the bass's visual appeal but also contributes to its rich, resonant sound. The ash body adds a touch of brightness, complementing the profound sustain that discerning bassists crave.

Equipped with a pair of Nordstrand "Big Single" pickups, the SR5CMDX delivers a robust, full-bodied tone that maintains the clarity typical of single-coil pickups. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ provides comprehensive tonal control, including a bypass option for passive operation, allowing for precise sonic sculpting. The 3-way Mid frequency switch offers versatility, letting players toggle between 250Hz, 450Hz, and 700Hz for tailored midrange tonal shaping.

Additional features such as Gotoh machine heads and an MR5S bridge with adjustable saddles ensure precision tuning and a smooth playing experience. For musicians on the move, a hardshell case is included, offering protection and convenience for travel.
