Ibanez SR505EL-BM
Product information "Ibanez SR505EL-BM"
When Ibanez launched the Soundgear bass almost 20 years ago, the motto was: "Everything but traditional." The Soundgear was light and curvy, had a thin neck and versatile active electronics on board. Features that the electric bass pioneers of the 1950s would never have dared to dream of.
With easy-to-play, continuous Prestige necks, Bartolini® electronics, and a handful of other upgrades, Soundgear Prestige basses have catapulted themselves even further toward optimal playability and versatility.
The cornerstone of the Soundgear philosophy is and remains that modern basses can produce every conceivable tone from punk to funk for players who prefer a slim neck.

The Japanese instrument maker Ibanez can look back on a long tradition in guitar and bass construction. Although Ibanez initially made a name for itself with idiosyncratic copies of traditional models from makers like Gibson and Fender, its own series gradually emerged, such as the Iceman, JEM, Artcore and RG. In the 1980s the company became particularly well known in the heavy sector with instruments that stood out for their modern features, distinctive design and excellent playability. Innovations such as 7- and 8-string guitars, born from fruitful collaborations with artists like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Meshuggah, further helped to establish Ibanez's strong reputation. Today the manufacturer offers an extensive range, from entry-level guitars and basses to exotic Custom Shop models. In addition, Ibanez also impresses in the field of effects and amplifiers, as the classic TS9 Tubescreamer proves. Here you'll find a comprehensive selection of guitars, basses, amplifiers, effects and accessories from Ibanez.
