The Ibanez Soundgear series has been a go-to for working bassists since the late ’80s, offering a fast, comfortable feel and the versatility to handle just about any musical setting. This left-handed SR500 carries that legacy forward with a sleek design and a highly responsive electronics package.

Built with a slim, fast-playing SR neck, this bass feels effortless in the hands—especially for players who appreciate the narrower profile often associated with extended-range instruments. The 5-piece wenge and bubinga neck adds stability and snap, while the mahogany body provides a warm, balanced tonal foundation.

Equipped with a pair of Bartolini MK1 pickups and an onboard 3-band EQ, the SR500 delivers a wide range of usable tones—from tight, punchy lows to articulate highs—making it equally at home on stage or in the studio.
