IbanezSR505A 5-String Electric Bass Guitar - Mahogany Brown Burst Low Gloss
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Extended range meets a straightforward control layout on the right-handed SR505A. Its five-string design pairs an okoume body with a five-piece roasted maple/walnut neck, rosewood fingerboard, and medium frets. Bartolini BH2 pickups work with a three-band Ibanez EQ and three-way mid-frequency switch, so you can make focused tone changes at the instrument. Flip the EQ bypass for passive operation, or use the MR5S bridge’s adjustable saddles to refine string spacing.
