The SRMS805 is a multi-scale, five string Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2018. It is made in Indonesia as part of the Ibanez Bass Workshop line.

The SRMS805 features a poplar burl top on a double-cutaway walnut and mahogany body bolted to a jatoba and walnut multi-scale neck with a 24-fret panga panga fingerboard with offset stadium position markers. Components include a pair of Bartolini BH2 passive pickups feeding an Ibanez custom preamp with a three-band EQ, individually mounted Mono-rail 5S bridges with adjustable 16.5mm string spacing, a plastic nut, and Ibanez tuning machines.

For 2019 the walnut and mahogany body was replaced with okoume.

The SRMS800 and SRMS806 are four and six string versions, respectively.
