Ibanez SR1425BCGL SR Premium 5-String Bass - Caribbean Green

With the bass held in the playing position, there are three small knobs located towards the lower edge of the body. Directionally, from the lower bout towards the neck these knobs control treble boost/cut, mid boost/cut, and bass boost/cut knob. Above these are two larger knobs closer to the bridge. Of these, the knob closest to the end of the body is the pickup balance, and the knob located towards the neck is the volume knob. There are two switches on this bass. The switch closest to the lower edge of the body is a 3-way mid-frequency switch. When the switch is in the neck position, mid boost peak is at 250Hz. When the switch is in the center position, mid boost peak is at 450Hz. When the switch is in the bridge position, mid boost peak is at 700Hz. The other switch closer to the middle of the bass is the EQ bypass switch. When the switch is in the neck position, the EQ is off. When the switch is in the bridge position, EQ is on. When EQ is off, the treble knob works as a passive tone control knob.

The bass boost/cut frequency curve has a peak at 20 Hz, the variable width becomes smaller toward the high range, and the variable width becomes zero at about 1000 Hz. The variable range of the peak frequency is approximately ±15 dB. The treble boost/cut frequency curve draws a mountain-shaped curve with a peak at around 10,000 Hz and a zero-variable range of around 100 Hz. The variable range of the peak frequency is approximately ±15 dB. The mid-boost/cut frequency curve creates a bell-shaped curve that peaks at a specific frequency, and the variable range becomes zero near 20 Hz and around 10,000 Hz. The frequency peak can be switched to 700, 450, and 250 Hz. The variable range of the peak frequency is approximately ±15 dB.
