Get the smooth action and versatile tones of an Ibanez SR bass in an affordable 5-string configuration.

The Ibanez SR255 5-string bass packs many features of the upper-end SR. With the same-SR smooth and fast neck, which is reinforced with 3 piece Maple woods, you'll never feel playing bass is difficult. It also features 24 frets which allow you to access 2-octaves easily thanks to its smooth All Access Neck Joint. Compact Nato body is lightweight and extremely comfortable for both sitting down and standing up. And, the CAP EXF-N2 pickups give you some serious growl and, in combination with the EQB-IIID 3-band eq, you'll get any sound you want.

For 25 years the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavoring to answer the wider needs of a variety of players, at a variety of budgets.

Sound is very flexible and the tone is very good. For the money you can not beat it. The only issue I have is that the fret edges could be ground down just a touch, but everything else about this bass is absolutely perfect. From the fit and finish, to the sound, to the playablity.

Musical Background:
