Ibanez SR505N-MAM Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte

Versatile Sound and Comfortable Playability!

The SR series has stood for decades for a lightweight body, fast neck and electronics suited to a wide range of musical styles. With a stable neck construction, balanced fretboard tone, flexible sonic options and powerful pickups, this model delivers a modern solution for bassists seeking comfort and tonal variety.

Stable Neck and Balanced Playability

The five-piece neck made from Roasted Maple and Walnut benefits from heat treatment that enhances stability, resilience and moisture resistance. The rosewood fretboard complements this build with a balanced, mid-focused core character. Medium frets contribute to precise intonation and a comfortable feel.

Lightweight Body with a Bright Core Tone

The Okoume body offers a bright, solid sound and—thanks to its low weight—high comfort, making it ideal for long rehearsals or live sessions.

Powerful Pickups with Clear Definition

The Nordstrand Big Break pickups deliver a powerful, slightly aggressive tonal texture while preserving the clarity of a single-coil without intrusive noise. The result is a versatile sound that cuts across many genres.

Flexible Electronics with Musical Midrange Tuning

The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ provides a particularly musical frequency range. The mid control uses slightly different frequencies for boost and cut, enabling more precise tone shaping. The EQ bypass with passive tone control further expands flexibility.

Individual Adjustment and Versatile Tone Options

The MR5S bridge allows variable string spacing to suit different playing techniques. A 3-way mid frequency switch complements the tone controls with additional sound options and underlines this model's versatility.
