At Sims Music, the Ibanez Standard SR500A stands out as a workhorse bass built for players who demand comfort, speed, and reliability night after night. Its lightweight, contoured okoume body sits comfortably whether you’re on stage or in the practice room, while the fast SR-profile 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck makes navigating all 24 frets feel effortless. The slim neck shape and smooth rosewood fingerboard offer a familiar, broken-in feel that supports everything from tight pocket playing to fluid, expressive runs.

The SR500A’s sound is equally versatile and stage-ready, powered by a pair of Bartolini BH2 humbucking pickups paired with Ibanez’s custom 3-band EQ. This setup delivers deep, authoritative lows, clear highs, and plenty of tonal control to adapt to virtually any genre. Premium hardware, including the MR5S bridge and Ibanez tuners, ensures solid sustain and dependable tuning stability. Whether you’re gigging regularly or recording, the SR500A is a dependable, great-sounding bass that earns its place in any serious player’s lineup.
