From Our Catalog
Since 1987, bassists who want the power and versatility of active electronics and the speed of the fastest neck available have made Soundgear standard equipment in every genre. As music evolves, so does the Soundgear concept. The SR500 family is one example of this evolution. The SR500 models feature a fast SR4 neck (bubinga/wenge), a mahogany body, and Bartolini MK1 pickups. Onboard Bartolini 3-band EQ provides precise tone control.
SR Series Features
Thinner necks with thinner nuts than traditional basses.
Sleek bodies that are lightweight, balanced and comfort contoured.
Active EQ's perfectly matched with the right choice of passive or active pickups.
Sleek, sexy and sonically versatile are the reasons Soundgears can be found in every kind of music from gospel to goth to garage rock. Bassists who want the power and versatility of active electronics and fastest neck available have made the Soundgear standard equipment in the most controlled studio environments and the most out-of-control live performances.

Another favorite from Ibanez! Why? How about the solid mahogany body for great sustain, the Bartolini MK1 pickups and 3-band EQ for stupendous tone, or the rosewood fingerboard and Cosmo Black hardware? Whatever your musical style, this thin-necked bass will provide a great sound.

Ibanez SR500 Electric Bass Reviews
9 out of 10
"SEXY!!!!"
Quality:
Would give it a 10 but the finish (which I love aesthetically)probably won't stand up to the road. Normally this wouldn't bother me but it is so sexy when new. It needs a input jack as already the timber around the jack is starting to scuff.
Value:
Great value.
Desirability:
It's so sexy it sizzles. What a sensuous looking and sounding bass.
Sound:
The active pickups and the EQ controls give you unbelievable versatilty of tone.. The sustain is prodigious for such a light bass.
Support:
NA
Overall:
This one is a keeper. I will probably pick up a 5 string bass in the next 12 months and I have no doubt it wil probably be an Ibanez

"This bass is hands down the bass for the beginner, intermediat, and profesional bassest. Its well worth the cost."
Feature:
bartollini mk-1 pickups make this bass fun to play with. The bass has volume, pick-up selector, bass, mid, and high. This makes tweeking with Eq easy and fun.
Quality:
My personal bass has been knocked around and played often, yet the usability of this insterment has never gone down. The finish is fantastic it allows for true tone and still protects the bass well.
Value:
The quality of the bass for the price is fantastic. I payed 700 for the bass, case, amp, strap, cord, and all. (i have a beringer 30w amp)
Desirability:
This bass is lite, sleek, and fast. The croud always looks at this bass in awe. when i switch to my schector 5 string my shoulder hurts. that bass is 3-4 pounds heavier than my sr-500. the finish causes people to say to me, "that is a beautiful bass"
Sound:
This bass has wonderfull sustain, but the tone is compermised slightly. deep rich tone or can be modified for a more grungy, muddy sound.
Support:
Although my bass is awesome the support by ibanez was poor. I ordered a case and it took more than a month to recieve it.
Overall:
I have no need to buy another four string bass. i have purchased a five string, but i have looked at numerous other basses and always go home and play my sr-500. nothing is quite like it.
