Product Description

Your 5-String Workhorse Has Arrived

This pre-owned 2016 Ibanez SR505 is a straight-up powerhouse, built for the modern bassist who needs killer tone and effortless playability without breaking the bank. It’s in excellent condition and ready to gig. The core of this bass is its resonant mahogany body, delivering a warm, punchy fundamental that you can feel in your chest. Paired with a lightning-fast 5-piece Jatoba/Bubinga neck, this SR505 is built for speed and stability—it practically plays itself.

Bartolini-Powered Versatility

Here’s the lowdown—the electronics are the heart of this beast. It’s loaded with a pair of passive Bartolini® MK-1 pickups, known for their incredible clarity, deep low-end, and articulate midrange. But the real magic happens when you engage the Ibanez Custom 3-band EQ. This active circuit lets you sculpt your tone with surgical precision. Boost the lows for gut-punching rumble, dial in the mids to cut through any mix, or add some glassy highs for modern slap tones. The mid-frequency switch gives you even more control, letting you shift the character of your midrange from a tight growl to a broader roar.

Built for the Player

Every detail of the SR series is about comfort and performance. The sleek, contoured body and thin SR5 neck profile mean you can play for hours without fatigue. The Accu-cast B305 bridge provides rock-solid tuning stability and intonation, with a comfortable 16.5mm string spacing that’s perfect for both fingerstyle and slap. From the rich rosewood fretboard with its elegant abalone inlays to the durable Cosmo black hardware, this bass looks as good as it sounds.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The sky’s the limit. The MK-1 pickups provide a clear, warm, and punchy foundation. From there, the 3-band EQ lets you go anywhere. Dial back the treble for a fat, vintage thump, boost the mids for an aggressive rock growl, or scoop the mids and crank the bass/treble for a modern slap tone that’s crisp and clean. The mid-frequency switch adds another layer, letting you fine-tune exactly where your midrange punch sits.
In a word: fast. Ibanez SR necks are legendary for their thin, comfortable profile that’s built for speed and effortless playing. The 5-piece Jatoba and Bubinga construction isn’t just for looks—it adds incredible stability and sustain, ensuring the neck stays straight and true. It’s perfect for players who cover a lot of ground on the fretboard.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
