Ibanez - SR5500-MHF Prestige Mocha Flat + Etui
This Ibanez SR5500-MHF bass embodies a subtle balance between advanced technology and exotic aesthetics. This model is distinguished by its 5-piece steamed maple and walnut neck, a rosewood fingerboard and an African mahogany body topped with an ovangkol table. Thanks to its Nordstrand Big Single pickups and its 3-band Sonitech preamp, it offers exceptional sonic versatility, whether you are a fan of muffled sounds or bold tones.
Presentation
The Nordstrand Big Single pickups, in addition to being elegantly covered in wood, deliver a sound that combines power and finesse. The marriage of an incisive grain and rich nuances allows you to juggle between a precise sound and more organic textures. The Sonitech preamp pushes this versatility even further, with two EQ modes and a passive control.
The ovangkol and African mahogany, used for the body, are not only there for their aesthetics, they provide a warm resonance, perfectly balanced by the rosewood fingerboard, known for its tone centered on the mids. A sonic marriage that will leave no one indifferent.
The bass doesn’t stop there: its MR5S bridge lets you precisely adjust the string spacing, while the Gotoh tuners ensure infallible tuning precision. The Luminlay reference points, meanwhile, offer flawless readability on stage, even in the dark. A real solution designed for demanding bassists.
