Ibanez SR505E Bass Guitar - Black Aurora Burst

The SR505E sits right in that sweet spot where you start getting genuinely professional features without the professional price tag. The okoume body keeps the weight manageable for long sets, and the jatoba/walnut neck has a fast, slim profile that SR basses are famous for. Bartolini pickups paired with an active 3-band EQ give you a level of tonal control that covers everything from warm fingerstyle jazz to punchy slap and aggressive rock tones.

This is a 5-string bass for players who have outgrown their starter instrument and want something they can gig, record, and grow with. The Black Aurora Burst finish over that okoume body looks fantastic under stage lights. If you need extended range with real tone and playability, the SR505E is one of the best values in its class.
