For 30 years the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavoring 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.

I feel like the SR500 series is an unspoken legend. I remember back in the day when I was starting out. It seemed like everyone wanted to aim for an SR500 as one of the first big upgrades from their beginner bass as it was the first step in to a Serious SoundGear bass. Crazy how they've consistently improved the bass to where it still stands as one of the best basses in its price range.

Ibanez is one of the few companies that continually "hands down" great features from their higher end models to the standard ones as they develop new improvements. A great example is the Accu-cast bridges. And they do it without any fanfare. Simply offering their customers the best instruments, at a great value.

@user-dz3ie5me2t Жыл бұрын

The SR500 is one of the best basses out there, regardless of price. My SR505 is super light and comfortable, and the finish of the neck feels like a boutique bass. BH2's are not flashy but very tight, and work very well with the EQ. Yes, the paint chips very easily like many people mentioned. My one-year-old SR505 has already lost big chunks of paint where my slap fingers hit, but nowadays people pay hundreds of dollars to have their guitars/basses "relic-ed". The SR505 is so affordable I don't worry about the resale value, and I will never sell mine anyway. I will play it until it looks like a true vintage bass. I wish the string spacing were wider (I have my saddles adjusted but they don't make that much difference), but now I got used to it, even that is not a big deal any more.

The SR500 is a fantastic sounding bass with solid hardware and tons of tone control. Problem is, the finish chips very easily. I have chips all over my bass, and I'm very careful with my Insturments. There are even chips next to the strings from slapping. It's quite dissapointing, but other than that, I really can't complain. It's easily one of the best basses in that price range!

For real, my first bass was an Ibanez GSR205, and though for whatever reason, Im not as big on Ibanez as back when I was starting out, I remeber that even then, about 13 years ago, The SR500 seemed to be the best bang for your buck in that price range and was the entry level serious SoundGear bass. It's amazing how even today with so many brands growing in quality, the SR500 is still probably one of the best basses you can get in its price range.

Dear Team Ibanez, Am shocked to find that many of the artists who demo your instruments have their heads cut out of the video. While you do feature famous artists on your site and signature series, it is sad to think that you don't consider it important to identify and celebrate so many upcoming guitarists who are playing your instruments. Please reconsider this practice and celebrate the players identities - even the lesser known but capable guitarists who are doing the demos of all your instruments. Thank you for making great instruments with amazing tone, feel, and playability.

@TristanJCumpole 4 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't continue oiling it, simply cleaning and applying a wax finish. Preferably one without silicone. Oil doesn't need continual replenishment unless the wood starts to wear through, and in that case I'd likely wipe with a couple of drops of raw linseed, then buff back until cloths come back dry. Soak the cloths after this because they'll combust and burn your house down.

Really nice bass but the finish is absolutely garbage. If you stare at it too hard it will start flaking off. Seriously they should come with a gallon can of touch-up stain. At least sell the stain cheaply to help those of us who bought these basses out. I still love it my sr500e even with the dullish pickups and flaky coating. If they made this in a beautiful sunburst with better pickups it would be the King of the Basses. Wonder what a custom paint job costs...

@Onic951 5 жыл бұрын

Old sr500 with korean barts mk1 sounds better, new bh2 pickups lacking in the highs ( they call it smooth ), and today ibanez preamp also lacking in high frequency department. No wonder new ibz basses sounds dull and subdued.
