Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Reviews

Nice Bass
Thank you Chris Goldbach & Sweetwater. Super happy with this bass. This is my first Ibanez. I have played upright & Fender jazz basses for 20+ years. I wanted to get the upright sound without the hassle. This bass has a great sound and was set up very well by the Sweetwater staff.
Music background: @untitledandlive
Ibanez SRH505F beetles bass
Nice upright bass tone!
Great for other styles also. I pair it
with a Phil Jones PE-5 preamp pedal
for everything from classic jazz to
modern fusion.
Lightweight, balanced, comfortable,
and plays great!
Customer service is excellent!
King of the Mwa sound for sure!
I put Thomastik-Infeld flats on it to protect it and the MWAAAAAAAAAAAA is definitely there if that's what you're after. I love it. Remember that it's a hollow bodied so you shouldn't have it hanging on the wall but instead kept safely in it's case when not in play. I wanted a solid body to compliment it on the wall for easy access so got the Gary Willis which is a perfect sibling. Very similary (almost identical) dimentions. Which has more MWAH? Definitely this SRH505F. I don't know if it's the body difference or pickups, but it's sound is certainly unique. Think the bassist in the FIRM. I'd never part with the bass. Ever.
My favorite bass!!
This bass is incredible! That tone, somewhere between a P bass and an upright...amazing! Mwah all over the neck. This bass arrived set up perfectly and the playability is really off the charts. It is also very light, so I can play it comfortably for hours. Very happy with my purchase, and with Sweetwater!!!
Just what I was after!
I love this bass, I was seeking a specific tone and finally found it right here! Enough said, just read the reviews, watch some video of it being played. If you're like me, you will have a hard time putting it down.
Arrived setup beautifully. A keeper no doubt.
Music background: Play guitar, but bass has been my main instrument for over 40 years. Most all genres.
