The SR405EQM is a five string Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2016. It is made in Indonesia as part of the standard line. It replaced the SR405QM.

The SR405EQM features a quilted maple top on a double-cutaway mahogany body bolted to a maple and rosewood neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with white dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez PowerSpan passive pickups channeled through an Ibanez custom preamp with a Power Tap switch and a three-band EQ, an Accu-cast bridge with 16.5mm string spacing, a plastic nut, and Ibanez tuning machines.

For 2018 the maple and rosewood neck was replaced with maple and walnut and the rosewood fingerboard was replaced with jatoba. For 2019, the mahogany body was replaced with nyatoh.

The SR400EQM is a four string version. The SR405EMQM is a similar model with a maple fretboard. The SR405EBCW is a similar model with a claro walnut top and black hardware.
