Ibanez SR505E-BM Standard (Brown Mahogany)

Classic Soundgear design with high playing comfort

The Ibanez Standard SR505E-BM Brown Mahogany features an okoumé body which, thanks to its ergonomically curved design, fits snugly on the player and takes a balanced position on both the thigh and bass strap. In addition, the extremely slim and smooth-running "SR5" profile of the screwed, five-piece neck made of Jatoba and walnut provides high playing comfort across all 24 frets of the Jatoba fingerboard.

Ibanez SR505E with Bartolini pickups and active tone control

For the electric sound conversion the Ibanez SR505E-BM Brown Mahogany uses two Bartolini BH2 pickups. Equipped with blade pole pieces, the bass humbuckers deliver an articulated sound with a tight bass foundation, broad midrange and a silky treble spectrum that provides the ideal foundation for grooves between blues, pop, jazz, rock and metal. To adjust the sound, an active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control is also on board, with a center frequency that can be switched three times. The EQ bypass switch also allows the five-string to be played in classic passive mode.

Reliable hardware with massive bridge and precise tuners

Last but not least, the Ibanez Standard SR505E-BM Brown Mahogany convinces with its high-quality, indestructible hardware equipment. The Ibanez Accu-Cast B500 bridge with its solid construction supports bass response and sustain, while four separately adjustable string riders guarantee optimum adjustment of intonation and string position. In addition, five Ibanez Die-Cast bass tuners on the headstock ensure precise and stable tuning.
