Overview
The Ibanez SR505E features an Okoume body which offers a warm and fat low end. The thin, sturdy and stable Jatoba / Walnut neck offers superior playability when combined with the extended neck joint, making the upper frets easily accessible. This SR505E is equipped with Bartolini BH2 pickups in a dual-coil style configuration with a lower resonant frequency, providing a balanced, warm response with a tighter bottom end and a fuller midrange. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ features a 3-way mid-frequency switch, allowing for precise tonal control (250 Hz, 450 Hz, and 700 Hz) and an EQ bypass switch for passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.
The B505 Bridge has adjustable saddles for string spacing adjustments, answering every bassist's individual string spacing demands, no matter what playing style. The saddles can be adjusted + / -1.5mm. The neck-end adjustment allows you to tweak the neck easily without loosening the strings. The SR Series continues to satisfy the vast needs of bass players, exciting them with the SR's smooth and fast neck, lightweight body and perfectly matched electronics.

I have had this bass for some time now, and I am completely satisfied with it, but, it is a bit on the mellow side of music. As a supportive instrument, it can stand up to anything on the market.But I miss my sr655. Eventually, I will re-order it from somewhere. Hopefully, zZounds will re stock it, because this is where I prefer my money to go to. The SR series, in my opinion is by far some of the best basses in the industry. It is extremely difficult to find a better neck on a bass.Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or pro, try the SR series., and 9 times out of 10, you will not want to play anything else.
