Ibanez SR500N-MAM Bass Guitar, Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte
Streamlined SR Design with Professional Tone
The Ibanez SR500N-MAM delivers the hallmark performance of the SR series in a sleek, 4-string format, combining lightweight comfort with powerful, flexible electronics. Finished in the striking Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte, this bass offers a modern aesthetic alongside exceptional tonal capability for a wide variety of playing styles.
Designed with versatility in mind, the SR500N is equally suited to live performance, studio work, and everyday practice.
Fast Neck and Effortless Playability
The 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck ensures excellent stability, durability, and resistance to environmental changes. Its slim, fast profile allows for smooth, effortless movement across the fretboard, making it ideal for both intricate passages and solid groove playing.
A rosewood fretboard adds warmth and tonal balance, while medium frets enhance note accuracy and comfortable playability. The okoume body keeps the instrument lightweight while delivering a bright, resonant tone with strong projection.
Powerful Electronics with Flexible Control
Equipped with Nordstrand™ Big Break pickups, the SR500N produces a full, punchy tone with excellent clarity. These split-coil soapbar pickups deliver the best of both worlds—powerful output with the definition of single-coil character, all while remaining quiet and noise-free.
The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ provides intuitive and precise tone shaping, supported by a 3-way mid frequency switch for additional control. The EQ bypass switch allows instant access to passive mode, offering a more traditional tonal character when needed.
The MR5S bridge features adjustable string spacing, giving players the ability to tailor the feel of the instrument to their exact preference.
