Ibanez SR500 bass 2004 mahogany with hard case

  
This first part is from the Ibanez Wiki/Fandom website The SR500 is a Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 2004, made in South Korea. The SR500 features a double-cutaway mahogany body bolted to a wenge and bubinga SR4 neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with abalone oval position markers. Components include a pair of Bartolini MK1 passive soapbar humbucking pickups, an Accu-cast B20 fixed bridge with 19mm string spacing, an a Bartolini MK1 preamp with 3-band EQ, and Ibanez die-cast tuning machines.

Controls consist of a master volume, balance, treble boost/cut, bass boost/cut and mid boost/cut. Can get anything from funky RHCP slaps to cool jazz walks pretty easily with just a few twists of the knobs. At 21 years old, it's in excellent condition for a nearly vintage guitar, and I think it shows some character. Honestly, it's just a bit more bass than I need, really. For some reason, I also find I kind of favour Yamahas, but only just.

I've just got too many guitars around, or else I'd keep this lovely Ibanez unit. Comes with very nice and very clean TGI hard case.
