For decades, the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez continues to refine the design to meet the needs of a wide range of players and budgets—while staying true to what defines the SR: a smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics.

The SR500A delivers that signature experience with premium tonewoods, upgraded electronics, and a sleek, ergonomic design built for comfort and versatility.
