Get to know them!

The Ibanez SR500 4-string electric bass offers one of the most playable necks in its class, with a thin 5-piece jatoba and bubinga combination. You won't believe how fast this neck plays and how effortlessly you can access the upper frets! The mahogany body is nicely balanced and contoured to be comfortable for hours of playing. When you need to deliver earthshaking lows and crystal-clear highs, the Ibanez SR500's Bartolini pickups and MK1 3-band EQ really come through. This beauty is an amazing player and a great value!

Ibanez SR500 4-string Electric Bass Guitar at a Glance
  • Ibanez Soundgear quality
  • Fast neck for nimble runs
  • Flexible Bartolini Electronics
Built for tone and comfort

The Soundgear series from Ibanez offers players a sleek alternative to the bass designs that have been the standard. The SR500's contoured mahogany body provides a warm, woody tone, and the fast neck is built to give players in any genre a comfortable playing experience. And the SR500 is lightweight, which means you'll get home from the gig and your shoulder won't be tired.

Fast neck for nimble runs

Ibanez opted for a supremely playable 5-piece jabota and bubinga neck that feels great in your hand. You get great upper-fret access and moving up and down the neck is nearly effortless. The nut width is thinner than what you'll find on most bass necks, which further aids the comfort factor. And the rosewood fingerboard pairs beautifully both sonically and visually with the neck woods and mahogany body to complete the picture.

Flexible Bartolini Electronics

The Ibanez SR500 doesn't just play great and look great, it sounds amazing as well. The Bartolini MK1-4 pickups are paired with the EQB-IIIS 3-band EQ, which lets you dial in your ideal tone. This is great for players that find themselves hopping from genre to genre, or when you just want to take total control of your sound. Sweetwater bassists are sure you'll love the SR500 4-string electric bass.
