DESCRIPTION

The SR505A continues the legacy of Ibanez’s renowned SR Series—a bass line built for the modern player who demands comfort, speed, and sonic versatility. With decades of evolution behind it, this SR model combines timeless design with cutting-edge enhancements that make it a standout choice for seasoned pros and serious players alike.

The 5pc Roasted Maple/Walnut neck is a technical achievement in both tone and durability. Roasting the Maple increases its stability and resistance to humidity and temperature shifts, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance. Paired with a smooth Rosewood fretboard, this neck delivers a focused midrange with excellent tonal clarity across all registers.

The Okoume body is lightweight yet tonally rich, projecting a bright, articulate sound that’s perfect for modern and traditional styles alike. Medium frets ensure every note lands with pinpoint accuracy and effortless feel.

At the heart of the SR505A’s tonal engine are a pair of Bartolini® BH2 dual-coil pickups, known for their tight low-end response, punchy mids, and articulate highs. These pickups are matched with the powerful Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, offering extensive tone-shaping control. The unique 3-way Mid frequency switch lets you fine-tune your mids with surgical precision, while the EQ bypass switch allows you to switch to a passive mode—complete with a global passive tone control—ideal for more organic tones.

The MR5S bridge provides flexible string spacing adjustments (+/- 1.5mm), giving players full control over their setup preferences.

The SR505A is a bass built to perform—both on stage and in the studio—with a sleek look, premium components, and versatile electronics that make it an essential tool for the modern bassist.
