Ibanez built the SR405EQMDEB as a five-string entry in the SR (Soundgear) Series, a line the company positioned around slim, fast-playing basses aimed at players who prioritised neck feel and low weight over traditional bass bulk. The quilted maple top over a nyatoh body gave the model its Dragon Eye Burst finish designation, placing it among the visually differentiated variants within the SR405EQM production run.
The bass featured a five-piece maple and walnut SR5 neck, a construction method Ibanez used across the SR line to add stiffness and stability. The jatoba fretboard carried white dot inlays and medium frets, with a 305mm radius and a 34-inch (864mm) scale. Nut width measured 45mm, widening to 68mm at the 24th fret; neck thickness ran 19.5mm at the first fret and 21.5mm at the twelfth. The Accu-cast B305 bridge was spaced at 16.5mm between strings. Passive PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups sat at both neck and bridge positions, feeding an Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ equipped with a 3-way Power Tap switch — a switching arrangement that allowed tonal shaping beyond a conventional passive/active toggle. All hardware was finished in cosmo black.
Owners needing setup work, fret dressing, or guidance on sourcing compatible bridge saddles or nut blanks for the 45mm width should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier experienced with multi-string bass instruments.
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.
