Description

Ibanez built the SR305ECUB as part of the SR (Soundgear) Series, positioning it as a five-string passive-pickup bass within a long-running line known for slim, fast necks and lightweight construction. The SR Series was designed to appeal to players who prioritised ease of playability across the full span of an extended-range instrument.

The SR305ECUB was constructed with a Nyatoh body and a five-piece Maple/Walnut SR5 neck, with a Jatoba fretboard dressed with white dot inlays and medium frets. The 34-inch scale (864mm) runs to a 45mm nut width, tapering to 68mm at the 24th fret, with neck thickness measuring 19.5mm at the first fret and 21.5mm at the 12th — figures that reflect the SR line's characteristic shallow profile. The fretboard radius is 305mmR. String spacing at the bridge is 16.5mm, set by the Accu-cast B125 bridge. Both the neck and bridge positions carry PowerSpan Dual Coil passive pickups, fed into an Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with a 3-way Power Tap switch, allowing the player to alter the coil configuration of the pickups. All hardware is finished in Cosmo black.

Owners requiring setup work, fret levelling, or guidance on sourcing compatible five-string bridge saddles or replacement PowerSpan-format pickups should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier familiar with extended-range bass instruments.

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.

What do you know about this one?

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.
