Description

Ibanez built the SR405EQMSKG as part of the SR (Soundgear) Series, positioning it as a five-string passive-pickup bass with active EQ. The model carried a Quilted Maple top over a Nyatoh body, paired with a five-piece Maple/Walnut neck and a Jatoba fretboard with white dot inlays — a combination characteristic of the SR line's approach to balancing tonal variety with playability.

Hardware ran in cosmo black throughout, anchored by an Accu-cast B305 bridge at a 16.5mm string spacing. Both the neck and bridge positions housed PowerSpan Dual Coil pickups in passive mode, fed into an Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with a 3-way Power Tap switch — giving the player passive pickup voicing options alongside active tonal shaping. The 34-inch scale (864mm) neck measured 45mm at the nut and 68mm at the 24th fret, with a 305mm radius fretboard and medium frets. Thickness ran 19.5mm at the first fret and 21.5mm at the twelfth.

Owners sourcing replacement hardware should note the Accu-cast B305 bridge dimensions and 16.5mm string spacing when evaluating aftermarket alternatives. For setup, intonation work, or nut replacement, a qualified guitar technician familiar with five-string basses will be best placed to advise on compatible parts.

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.
