Ibanez SR505E BAB 5-String Electric Bass Black Aurora Burst

Ibanez SR505E BAB 5-String Electric Bass Black Aurora Burst

For 30 years the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavouring to answer the wider needs of a variety of players, at a variety of budgets. But no matter what the specs, the heart is the same-SR continues to excite with its smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics. The The Ibanez SR505E TVB Electric 5-String Bass, finished in TV Fuzz Black, features a  5pc Jatoba/Walnut neck for tonal clarity and superior attack. A Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range. Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes. The Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound. 

The Bartolini BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is our latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centred on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favourable bass tones. The Accu-cast B500 bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist’s specific string spacing needs. The EQ bypass control offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit. The 3-way Mid frequency switch allow players to change the mid-tone between 250, 450, and 700 Hz.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Ibanez SR505E BAB 5-String Electric Bass, in Black Aurora Burst, is perfect for anyone looking for a solid, reliable 5-string workhorse at an affordable price.
