Ibanez SR505L: light, compact and durable

The SR505L-BM with its dark-brown mahogany body is a bass guitar with distinctive features. Where you normally find round dots, this bass has inlaid oval abalone position markers. The bolt-on neck passes through the two cutaways further than normal. This gives the Ibanez SR505L the distinctive look of the much loved Soundgear series. It also makes it much easier to play right up to and including the 24th fret. A closer look at the neck reveals five layers of wood consisting of bubinga and jatoba. This combination of wood types results in a neck that is light, compact and strong.

Ibanez SR bass guitars

For decades now, Ibanez has been providing consistently high-quality products, whether they be guitars, bass guitars or effects pedals. They still offer excellent products in both their entry-level and high-end ranges. The Ibanez SR was introduced as an alternative to the omnipresent American P and J-style bass guitars. And now, after some 25 years, we can safely say they've pulled it off. The SR shape has become almost as iconic as the two mentioned before, and over the years, the range developed to incorporate many different models.
