Ibanez SR505AMHL 5-String Bass – Mahogany Brown Burst Low Gloss
The Ibanez SR505AMHL continues the legacy of the SR series with a sleek, lightweight design and fast playability tailored for modern bass players. This 5-string model pairs an ergonomic okoume body with Ibanez’s ultra-comfortable SR5 neck profile, delivering effortless movement across the fingerboard and exceptional comfort for long playing sessions.
Equipped with Bartolini® BH2 passive pickups and Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, the SR505AMHL offers a wide tonal palette—from tight, focused lows to punchy mids and smooth highs. With a built-in EQ bypass and selectable mid frequencies, it adapts easily to any playing style or musical setting.

Okoume Body: Lightweight and resonant with a bright, solid tonal character.

Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-Band EQ (Active): Simple, effective tone shaping with bass, mid, and treble control.

Why It Stands Out
The SR505AMHL offers boutique-inspired playability and tonal flexibility at an accessible price point. Its slim neck, lightweight construction, and versatile electronics make it ideal for gigging musicians, recording players, and advancing bassists who need one instrument that can cover a wide range of styles—from rock and pop to fusion, worship, and beyond.
