Rated 5 out of 5

Fast, thin neck and lighter weight make this great sounding bass a joy to play!

I bought this as my first 5 string bass. Due to having shorter fingers, I normally play a Fender Deluxe Active Precision Bass Special which has a thinner neck. This bass has a super thin, fast playing neck as well and is the most comfortable 5 string I've played. The Bartolini pickups sound great and produce a very full range of sound. The bass is also very light which adds to the ease of playing it.

About Ibanez SR505

For 25 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.

Jatoba/Bubinga Slim Neck
Coupling Jatoba with Bubinga has made the neck strong and stable despite its thinness.

Extended Neck Joint
The neck tongue not only creates a unique look, it also makes utilizing the higher frets easier.

Bartolini MK1 Pickups
The MK1 pickups are split coil designs that provides a very wide frequency range and enhanced definition for maximum accuracy. The Neck and Bridge pickups have equal response, like traditional single coils, but without the hum and noise.
