Manufacturer's Description for Ibanez SR500 Left-Handed Electric Bass

The award winning Ibanez SR500 is now available in a left-handed version. 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.

Ibanez SR500 Left-Handed Customer Review

Sound: This model doesn't have the snappy mid response that my old GSR200 had. It's more of a subdued sound, not my characteristic Ibanez tone I'm used to. Not liking it. Feature: The body doesn't look as good in person as I thought it would. There's an exaggerated wood finish that almost looks plastic like. The three tone controls are nice. Ease of Use: Don't like the tone controls or sound. The frets are unfinished. Not the Ibanez quality I'm used to. Quality: This guitar has a cheap look to it. The frets have sharp edges. The strings looked old and used and had creases in it before I even used it. This bass is heavier than the GSR200 series I love, but it doesn't have the punch. Now that I have the bass I don't know what all the hoopla was about, I'm returning it. Very disappointed in the product. Value: If this bass was $399 it would be a better value. I will return it and get another GSR200 left handed bass. I don't like the flame black top but the wood on this bass looks almost plastic. And it should have never gone out with undressed frets. Ibanez shame on you. Manufacturer Support: Never had to deal with them. Rock solid products The Wow Factor: Looks ok from a distance. It doesn't have the quality look that you see in the picture, like i said, it almost looks plastic.... quite disappointing... Overall: it's going back

Style of Music: 80's, rat pack, modern country
