Its lightweight okoume body, roasted maple and walnut neck, and Bartolini BH2 pickups combine to deliver a responsive, balanced sound that works just as well on stage as it does in the studio. Finished in Transparent Gray Flat, the SR500A lets the natural grain of the wood shine through, giving it a sophisticated, contemporary look. Under the hood, Ibanez Custom Electronics with a 3-band EQ and mid frequency selector give you precise control over your tone, from tight, focused punch to warm, rounded lows and articulate highs. Whether you are playing rock, funk, fusion or pop, this bass is built to keep up with your creativity. Modern SR Playability The SR500A-TGF features the signature slim SR neck profile, crafted from a 5-piece roasted maple and walnut construction for strength and stability. The long 864 mm scale and 24-fret layout give you extended range without sacrificing comfort, while the smooth satin finish helps your hand glide effortlessly along the neck. White dot inlays keep things clean and functional, making it easy to navigate the fingerboard under stage lights.

This tonewood offers a warm, open midrange that pairs perfectly with the Bartolini electronics, giving you a solid foundation that sits naturally in a mix. The Transparent Gray Flat finish highlights the natural grain, adding a touch of boutique style to a highly practical workhorse bass.
