Ibanez SRMS720 Multi Scale Bass Workshop - Blue Chameleon

Ibanez SRMS720-BCM 4-String Multi Scale Electric Bass

The SRMS720-BCM is a 4-string electric bass from the Ibanez Bass Workshop series, featuring a multi-scale fingerboard with fanned frets. This design gives each string an optimal scale length, ensuring a solid low-end response while maintaining comfortable playability on higher strings.

Multi Scale Design

By assigning each string a specific scale length, the bass combines a longer scale for the lower strings—resulting in tighter, more defined tones—with a shorter scale for the higher strings to improve playability. This delivers consistent tonal balance and responsiveness across the instrument’s entire range.

Bass Workshop Series

The Bass Workshop series is Ibanez’s innovation platform for exploring new construction methods and technical solutions in bass design. These instruments often incorporate both fresh ideas and uncommon concepts to create unique playing experiences.

MR5S Bridge

Equipped with the MR5S Mono-Rail bridge, the bass offers a wider range of intonation and setup adjustments compared to earlier versions. Each string is individually mounted to isolate vibrations, resulting in cleaner notes and increased sustain.

Playability and Construction

Built on the SR model’s slim, lightweight body, the SRMS720 provides excellent playing comfort during extended sessions. The choice of tonewoods and hardware ensures both stability and responsive sound.
