Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ibanez’s Prestige SR5500 is a four-string SR bass with an African mahogany body, ovangkol top, rosewood fingerboard, and five-piece S-TECH maple/walnut neck. Nordstrand Big Single pickups with wood covers pair with the Sonitech 3-band EQ for bass, mid, and treble adjustment. The Hexa Mid system supplies six mid-frequency options, while an EQ-bypass switch changes active and passive operation quickly. Luminlay side dots support position finding in low-light performance settings, and a hardshell case is included for transport.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or studio players who want six selectable mid-frequency options within a 3-band EQ.
- Four-string players who need quick access to active and passive operation during a performance.
- Low-light stages where visible Luminlay side dots help track fretboard positions.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who specifically require a five-string bass.
