Ibanez SR500A Bass Guitar Guitar Mahogany Low Gloss
£572.99 Inc. Vat
Classic SR feel and balance
The SR500A continues the SR tradition of slim necks, lightweight bodies and effortless playability. Its compact design and comfortable contours make it easy to play for extended periods, whether you’re rehearsing, tracking in the studio or performing live. The bass sits naturally against the body and remains well balanced on a strap, reducing fatigue over long sessions. The fast neck profile encourages smooth movement across the fretboard, supporting both fingerstyle precision and more aggressive techniques without ever feeling restrictive or cumbersome.
Stable neck with smooth response
The 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck is heat treated to improve stability, durability and resistance to environmental changes. This construction helps the neck stay consistent over time, even with regular gigging or travel between different climates. Medium frets provide a familiar, comfortable feel that supports accurate intonation and controlled bends, while the rosewood fretboard delivers a balanced tonal response with a focused midrange. Together, this combination offers a dependable playing feel that remains comfortable across the entire neck.
Punchy pickups with flexible shaping
Bartolini BH2 pickups offer a tight low end, strong midrange presence and a smooth overall response that works well in both live and studio settings. Their dual-coil design ensures balanced output across all strings, helping notes stay clear and defined even with heavier EQ shaping. The custom 3-band EQ keeps control simple and musical, allowing quick adjustments on the fly. A 3-way mid frequency switch adds further flexibility, making it easy to tailor your tone to suit different genres, bands or mix situations.
Practical hardware for real-world use
The MR5S bridge features adjustable saddles that let you fine-tune string spacing to suit your playing style, whether you prefer tight spacing for speed or a wider feel for fingerstyle control. An EQ bypass switch gives you instant access to a passive-style signal, with the treble control acting as a global tone control when bypassed. Combined with reliable hardware and a durable low gloss finish, the SR500A is built as a dependable, no-nonsense bass designed to handle regular rehearsals, sessions and gigging without fuss.
