With its lightweight okoume body, slim roasted maple and walnut neck, Bartolini BH2 pickups and powerful 3-band active EQ, it is built to deliver articulate, punchy bass tones on stage and in the studio. Finished in a striking Transparent Gray Flat satin with visible grain, the SR505A looks as refined as it feels. The smooth satin polyurethane finish and ergonomic SR body contour make long gigs and rehearsals more comfortable, while the 24-fret neck and 864 mm scale length give you the reach and clarity to handle everything from tight, technical lines to deep, sustained grooves. At the heart of the SR505A are a pair of Bartolini BH2 pickups, voiced for a balanced response across all five strings. Paired with Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ and a mid frequency switch, you can quickly sculpt your sound for different genres and playing styles, from warm, rounded lows to bright, cutting slap tones. Whether you are upgrading from a first bass or adding a versatile 5-string to your collection, the SR505A-TGF offers a professional feel and sound in a lightweight, gig-ready package. Sleek, Comfortable SR Body The SR505A features Ibanez’s renowned SR body shape, carved from lightweight okoume. This keeps the bass comfortable on the shoulder while still providing a resonant, lively acoustic response. The contoured body and satin finish help the instrument sit naturally against your body, ideal for long sets and demanding rehearsals. Fast, Stable Roasted Maple and Walnut Neck The 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck is slim and fast, encouraging quick position shifts and intricate fingerwork. Roasting the maple helps improve stability and resistance to environmental changes, so your neck feels consistent and reliable. The smooth finish and 24-fret layout with white dot inlays make navigation across the fingerboard effortless. Bartolini BH2 Pickups and 3-Band EQ Dual Bartolini BH2 pickups provide a clear, articulate voice with a tight low end and defined mids, ensuring every note speaks evenly across the 5-string range. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, combined with a mid frequency switch, lets you fine-tune your tone for different mixes and musical settings, from subtle adjustments to bold, characterful sounds. Modern Look with Transparent Gray Flat Finish The Transparent Gray Flat satin finish showcases the natural grain of the okoume body while keeping reflections to a minimum under stage lights. Black hardware and the understated white dot inlays complete a modern, professional aesthetic that suits any genre, from contemporary worship and pop to metal and fusion. Key Features 5-String Configuration – The extended low-end range lets you access deeper notes without retuning, perfect for modern styles that demand powerful low B lines and flexible alternate tunings. Lightweight Okoume Body – Okoume keeps the instrument light and comfortable while maintaining a resonant, responsive tone, helping reduce fatigue during long gigs and rehearsals. Bartolini BH2 Pickups with 3-Band EQ – The Bartolini BH2 pickups deliver a balanced, articulate sound, while the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ and mid frequency switch give you detailed control to shape your tone for any musical context.
