Ibanez built the SR305EPW as a five-string entry in the SR (Soundgear) Series, positioning it as a slim, fast-playing electric bass aimed at players who required an extra low string without the bulk traditionally associated with five-string instruments.
The body is constructed from Nyatoh, paired with a five-piece Maple/Walnut neck — a laminate construction Ibanez designated SR5 — and a Jatoba fretboard with white dot inlays and medium frets. String spacing at the bridge sits at 16.5mm, a notably tight pitch that suits fast fingerstyle technique. The Accu-cast B125 bridge and Cosmo black hardware outfit the instrument throughout. Passive PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups are fitted at both neck and bridge positions, fed into an Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with a 3-way Power Tap switch — a circuit that allows passive coil-configuration changes alongside active tonal shaping. The neck profile measures 45mm at the nut, 68mm at the 24th fret, 19.5mm thick at the first fret, and 21.5mm thick at the 12th fret, over a 305mm radius fretboard. Scale length is 864mm (34 inches).
Owners tracing replacement parts — including bridge saddles compatible with the Accu-cast B125, Jatoba fretboard care products, or strap-pin and tuner hardware in Cosmo black — should consult a qualified luthier or bass technician who can verify fit against the instrument's current condition.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
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.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
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.
