Four-string electric bass with Bartolini pickups and active 3-band electronics
The Ibanez Standard SR500-SBF Sapphire Blue Flat is a four-string bass guitar built to excite through its smooth, fast neck and lightweight body, equipped with perfectly matched electronics. The SR4 neck is crafted from Jatoba with Bubinga to make it strong and stable despite its thinness. An extended neck joint creates a unique look, so you can utilise the higher frets easier. The Accu-cast B300 Bridge affords a precise intonation and delivers string-to-body vibration conductively.
Equipped with Bartolini MK1 split-coil-designed pickups, this guitar provides a very wide frequency range and enhanced definition for maximum accuracy. Each of the pickups offer an equal response without any hum or noise. Additionally, this bass comes with a Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with mid frequency switch to offer tonal variations that enhance simple chord work as well as complex soloing.
Good quality for that price. I wish finishing was better quality - there is dust under paint that you can feel with your fingers. Sound is OK. Good mids - what I prefer in bass sound. Also one can control the mids (boost/cut) at 2 points (250 Hz or 600 Hz).

I LOVE this thing! I wanted to add a 5-string to my arsenal, and I can't put it down. It plays so smoothly and feels great. The Bartolini pick ups give it a broad tone range. It is so good it has become my main bass. Exceptional value for any level player.
