Ibanez built the SR1605BCHF as part of the SR Premium Series, a five-string electric bass positioned toward the upper tier of the SR line. The model carried a Poplar Burl top over an African Mahogany body, paired with a five-piece Atlas-5 neck of Panga Panga and Purpleheart reinforced with KTS Titanium rods — a construction Ibanez employed to prioritise rigidity and resonance stability across the SR Premium range.
The bound Panga Panga fretboard runs 24 medium frets with abalone oval inlays and a 305mm radius, finishing at a 45mm Graph Tech BLACK TUSQ XL nut. String spacing at the MR5S bridge sits at 16.5mm on a 34-inch scale. Pickups are a passive Nordstrand Big Single pair at neck and bridge, fed into the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with an EQ bypass switch — the bypass routes signal through a passive tone control on the treble pot — and a 3-way mid-frequency selector. All hardware is finished in black. The bass shipped strung with D'Addario EXL165 plus a .130 B-string at gauges .045/.065/.085/.105/.130 in standard five-string tuning B–E–A–D–G.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including the Graph Tech BLACK TUSQ XL nut, MR5S bridge saddles, or Nordstrand Big Single pickups — should cross-reference Ibanez SR Premium hardware dimensions against supplier listings; a qualified guitar technician or luthier can confirm fit before installation.
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
