Ibanez - SR500E-BM Brown Mahogany
The Ibanez SR500E-BM Brown Mahogany electric bass draws on 30 years of evolution to offer a modern shape with a lightweight Okoume body and 5-piece screw-down Jatoba and Walnut neck, combining speed and tonal clarity. Its rosewood fingerboard, Bartolini BH2 double-coil passive pickups and 3-band EQ with bypass switch allow the sound to be precisely sculpted. The Accu-cast B500 bridge ensures fine adjustment of string spacing, optimising your playing comfort. With its satin mahogany brown finish, this bass strikes the perfect balance between aesthetics and tonal versatility, perfect for a wide range of musical tastes.
Presentation
The duo of passive, double-coil Bartolini BH2 pickups deliver remarkable tonal balance. The neck pickup delivers a powerful low end, the bridge pickup a dynamic midrange, and the two pickups are articulated for richly nuanced playing. Ibanez's 3-band EQ system, together with the bypass switch, makes it easy to switch between active and passive modes, so you can modulate your tone with flexibility. It's a veritable palette of sounds that you'll be able to control, from power to finesse.
The Accu-cast B500 bridge contributes to your playing comfort by allowing you to adjust the string spacing by ±1.5 mm. This technical detail may seem insignificant, but it changes the way you relate to your instrument. You can personalise the width between strings to suit your preferences and the technique you use, which is no mean feat if you want to feel perfectly at ease, whatever your style.
Ibanez also takes great care with the finish, with oil-bath tuning machines to stabilise the tuning and oval abalone markers for a discreet touch of elegance. The satin-finish Okoume body matches the rosewood neck and fingerboard to create a soothing visual balance. In addition to its precise sound, the SR500E-BM has a natural presence that makes an impact every time you pick it up.
