The Ibanez SR5000 4-string electric bass guitar brings a premium performer to the SR Prestige Series lineup! In addition to its well-balanced mahogany body (sandwiched between a wenge top and back), the SR5000 includes a 5-piece wenge/bubinga Atlas-4 HP neck (topped with a wenge fingerboard) that's as fast as it is comfortable. Abalone and pearl appointments add a touch of elegance. This bass's pair of Bartolini Custom pickups provide stellar tone for all kinds of styles, and you can get the most out of them with the Power Curve 3-band EQ (with a bypass switch) built into the Ibanez SR5000.





Mono-Rail IV bridge enhances definition





At Ibanez, there's genius in the details. Like the SR5000's innovative Mono-Rail IV bridge with locking saddles, which allows each string to fully vibrate without any interference with the other strings. That means that no matter how fast you play across the strings, each note will ring clear and true.





Precision-made with great tonewoods





Ibanez makes some very fine instruments, and the SR5000 bass is no exception. Ibanez chose a mahogany body for exceptional low-end impact and rich sustain. It's sandwiched between layers of wenge, a striking look that also enhances your tone. And the five-piece wenge/bubinga through neck with KTS Titanium rods doesn't just look great, it's incredibly strong to resist warping and twisting over the years.





Great tone from Bartolini pickups and 3-band EQ





Ibanez SR5000 basses come out of the factory with Bartolini pickups and preamps installed. The humbucking Bartolini Custom pickups serve up a warm tone with superior dynamic range, giving you a punchy sound that can be shaped for a variety of styles. A 3-band EQ lets you dial in the perfect sound you have been looking for. It doesn't matter what style of music you play, the Ibanez SR5000 is ready for the gig.
