Ibanez SR500N Bass Guitar Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte
£619.99 Inc. Vat
Fast SR feel with modern character
The SR500N carries forward the familiar SR design philosophy, combining a slim neck profile with a compact, lightweight body. This makes it comfortable to play for extended periods, whether you’re rehearsing, recording or gigging. The bass sits naturally against the body and feels well balanced on a strap, helping reduce fatigue over longer sessions. Its responsive feel encourages clean articulation and confident playing, allowing you to focus on timing, groove and dynamics rather than fighting the instrument.
Stable neck with smooth playability
The 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck is heat treated to improve durability, moisture resistance and long-term stability. This helps maintain consistent setup and feel, even with frequent travel or changing environments. Medium frets provide a familiar playing surface that supports accurate intonation and controlled bends. Paired with a rosewood fretboard, the result is a balanced tonal response with a focused midrange that works well for any genre or style – it’s a bass that’s made to be played.
Bold pickups with flexible tone shaping
Nordstrand Big Break pickups deliver a powerful, full-bodied sound with excellent clarity and definition. Their split-coil design offers the punch and authority of a humbucker while retaining the articulation associated with single coil-style tones. The custom 3-band EQ keeps tone shaping straightforward and musical, making it easy to dial in usable sounds quickly. A 3-way mid frequency switch adds further control, helping you tailor presence and punch to suit different mixes and musical styles.
The MR5S bridge features adjustable saddles, letting you fine-tune string spacing to suit your playing style and technique. An EQ bypass switch provides instant access to a passive-style signal, with the treble control acting as a global tone control when bypassed. Combined with dependable hardware and a durable matte finish, the SR500N is built as a no-fuss bass designed to handle regular rehearsals, studio sessions and live performance with confidence.

Ibanez GIO GSR200 Bass Guitar Natural Grey Burst
