Ibanez SR500A-MHL Mahogany Brown Burst Low Gloss

Modern Versatility For Every Bass Style!

The SR series has been known for decades for its lightweight body, fast neck and easily adaptable tone. With a stable neck construction, balanced fretboard tone, versatile pickups and thoughtful electronics, this model offers a modern solution for a wide range of players - from warm foundational tones to precise mids and punchy lows.

Stable Neck And Balanced Core Tone

The 5-piece neck of roasted maple and walnut impresses with its heat-treated structure, which supports stability and longevity. The rosewood fretboard delivers a balanced tone with focused mids. Medium frets contribute to precise intonation and comfortable playability.

Lightweight Body And Defined Tone

The Okoume body produces a bright, solid fundamental sound that supports both modern and traditional styles. Its lightweight build also enables relaxed playing during longer sessions.

Powerful Pickups With Clear Definition

The Bartolini BH2 pickups use a dual-coil design with extended magnetic coverage, delivering punchy lows, assertive mids and a smooth response. This setup offers a wide palette of sounds for various musical demands.

Flexible Electronics With Musical Midrange Tuning

The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control is voiced to emphasize musical bass frequencies. The EQ bypass switch, including passive tone control, opens up additional sonic freedom - ideal for quick changes between different tone characters.

Personalized Adjustments For Maximum Control

The MR5S bridge enables flexible string setup via individually adjustable saddles. The setup is complemented by the 3-way mid-frequency switch, which allows further tone variations and underlines the instrument's versatility.
