Full Description
View Full DescriptionPowerful Bartolini performance
The SR500A is equipped with a pair of Bartolini BH2 pickups designed to deliver tight low-end punch, articulate mids, and smooth overall response. Their dual-coil construction maximises clarity and note separation, helping every line cut through cleanly even in dense mixes or high-gain settings. Extended blade pole pieces provide balanced output across all five strings, ensuring consistent response and excellent articulation during fast passages or complex playing styles. From aggressive modern metal to funk grooves and smooth fusion lines, the BH2 pickups offer a focused, versatile voice with plenty of definition and dynamic range.
Flexible tonal shaping
Ibanez’s Custom Electronics 3-band EQ gives the SR500A a huge range of tonal flexibility while remaining intuitive and easy to control. Bass, mid, and treble adjustments allow detailed sound shaping, while the 3-way mid frequency switch lets you fine-tune the bass’s character to suit different genres and techniques. Switching to passive mode instantly provides a more traditional response, with the treble control functioning as a passive tone knob. From deep modern bass tones to vintage-inspired warmth and clarity, the SR500A adapts easily to almost any musical situation with precision and consistency.
Fast and comfortable feel
The SR55 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck is designed for stability, speed, and long-term reliability. Roasting the maple improves resistance to humidity and temperature changes while enhancing the neck’s smooth playing feel. Combined with the slim SR profile and rosewood fretboard, the neck allows effortless movement across all 24 frets for technical playing, smooth transitions, and comfortable extended sessions. Medium frets provide excellent note accuracy and control, while the lightweight okoume body keeps the instrument balanced and comfortable.
Reliable modern hardware
The MR5S bridge offers excellent sustain and tuning stability while allowing adjustable string spacing by plus or minus 1.5mm for a personalised playing feel. Black hardware complements the understated modern aesthetic while maintaining dependable performance under demanding conditions. Supplied with D’Addario EXL165 strings with a .130 low B, the SR500A arrives ready for professional use straight out of the box. Combining premium electronics, smooth playability, and reliable hardware, this bass is built to handle virtually any performance situation.
