Full Description
View Full DescriptionPowerful modern bass tone
The SR500A is equipped with a pair of Bartolini BH2 pickups that deliver tight lows, punchy mids, and impressive articulation across every string. Their dual-coil design provides balanced response and clarity, helping complex lines and fast passages remain defined even in dense mixes. The extended blade pole pieces widen the magnetic field for consistent output and excellent string-to-string balance. From laying down smooth fingerstyle grooves to finding the perfect aggressive slap tone or recording driving rock basslines, the BH2 pickups offer a modern voice with warmth, detail, and versatility built into every performance.
Flexible active and passive control
Ibanez’s Custom Electronics 3-band EQ gives the SR500A a huge range of tonal flexibility while remaining intuitive and easy to use. Bass, mid, and treble controls allow precise shaping of your sound, while the 3-way mid frequency switch lets you fine-tune the instrument’s midrange character for different styles and playing techniques. Switching into passive mode instantly provides a more traditional response, with the treble control functioning as a passive tone knob. From modern hi-fi clarity to warm vintage-inspired tones, the SR500A adapts easily to almost any genre or performance situation.
Fast comfortable playability
The SR500A features Ibanez’s slim SR4 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck, designed for exceptional comfort and stability during long sessions or demanding performances. Roasting the maple increases durability and resistance to temperature or humidity changes while enhancing the neck’s smooth feel. Combined with the rosewood fretboard and medium frets, the bass delivers effortless movement across all 24 frets with excellent note accuracy and control. The lightweight okoume body keeps the instrument balanced and comfortable.
Reliable hardware performance
The MR5S bridge provides outstanding stability and sustain while allowing adjustable string spacing by plus or minus 1.5mm, making it easy to customise the feel to suit your technique. Black hardware complements the bass’s understated modern aesthetic while maintaining dependable performance night after night. D’Addario EXL165 strings offer a balanced feel and consistent tone straight from the factory, ensuring the SR500A is ready to go immediately. Combining premium components with Ibanez’s player-focused design approach, this bass delivers reliability, comfort, and versatility in equal measure.
