Ibanez SR505EL-BM 5 String Bass – Lefty Brown – Mahogany

he Ibanez Standard SR505EL-BM Lefthand Brown Mahogany is a straightforward concept that combines the legendary playing comfort of the Soundgear design with high-quality and functional features. Ibanez relies on an okoume body in the well-known streamlined design, while the comfortable “SR5” neck is made of five-piece Jatoba and walnut. On the bass amplifier, the Ibanez SR505EL with two Bartolini BH2 pickups and the active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control covers a wide sound spectrum, making it an all-rounder for almost every musical style. Last but not least, the Ibanez standard SR505EL-BM Lefthand Brown Mahogany features an Ibanez Accu-Cast B500 bass bridge and Die-Cast bass tuners.

Classic Soundgear-design with the high playing comfort

The Ibanez Standard SR505EL-BM Lefthand Brown Mahogany features an okoume body which, thanks to its ergonomically curved design, fits snugly on the player and takes up a balanced position on both the thigh and bass strap. The extremely slim and smooth-running “SR5” profile of the screwed, five-piece neck made of Jatoba and walnut provides a high degree of playing comfort across all 24 frets of the Jatoba fingerboard.

Ibanez SR505EL with Bartolini pickups and active EQ

For electric sound conversion, the Ibanez SR505EL-BM Lefthand Brown Mahogany uses two Bartolini BH2 pickups. Equipped with blade pole pieces, the bass humbuckers deliver an articulated sound with a tight bass foundation, broad midrange and a silky treble spectrum that provides the ideal foundation for grooves between blues, pop, jazz, rock, and metal. To adjust the sound, an active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control is also on board, with a center frequency that can be switched three times. The EQ bypass switch also allows the five-string to be played in classic passive mode.
