Ibanez SR505E-BM
5-String Electric Bass

Latest User Reviews
Heavier than expected.
After reading/watching all reviews there are regarding this bass, decided to test one out. Generally all reviews said that it should weight around 3.3 to 3.5 Kg, mine was 4kg so i was a bit disappointed. Comparing to 5 string Fender type basses its still not that heavy, just not what i expected.
Sound wise - nothing to complain about, just what you could expect from these pickups and preamp.
Built quality - almost great. After neck/bridge adjustment still could not make some frets not to buzz. Probably that something a professional luther could fix, but if i buy a new bass i dont want to waste time and money on something like that.
Would i recommend one? If you can get one that weights around 3.5kg, then its a good deal for what it cots. Just be ready that some simple adjustments might be needed.
