GeorgeColeman Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 hey guys, just bought a Ibanex SRX 500, just wanted to know other peoples opinions on it really, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Marsh Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I have the SRX 300 and its a great bass. The neck is nice and slim and just a dream to play really. Pickups are great as well, plenty of punch. I can only guess the 500 is all those things and more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I've been using an SR505 for quite a few years now and really rate it (there's a fair bit of Ibanez SR love on BassChat!). The SRX500 was similar to the SR500 but it's passive, has a square cut body instead of a sculpted one and comes with 'musicman' type pickups instead of Bartolini's. Should be an extremely playable instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethfriend Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 demoed a few of the SR and SRX series, all wonderful to play and modern sounding to my ears, SRX left me with the impression it would be well suited to rock type sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 They are great basses for the money! When I worked in an Ibanez dealership we shifted loads of those, along with the SR500. As far as O can recall, it has the Ibanez PFR alnico humbuckers, and the 2-band eq. I had a SRX750 through-neck version when I worked there, but unfortunately it had issues with the neck so I had to get a refund because they had just been discontinued.

iceflow Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Have one for sale, although they are nice guitars not really my thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazy_olie Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Not a million miles away from my g&l. New someone who used to get a great live tone out of it, very powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Had an SRX700. Lovely woodwork, reasonable hardware, but I found the Pick-ups lacking and the EQ somewhat crude. The electrics in the [b]SR[/b]500 seem far better to me. I tried different strings, different set-ups, different settings, trying to ameliorate its shortcomings. Ultimately, an instrument that should've been capable of more than just one trick, but wasn't. Nowhere near a G&L ASAT I once played in terms of sound, although the feel, playability and construction were on a par. Just the electrics let the SRX700 down. In fact, the SRX700 would've been considerably better with SR guts in it. Maybe even better than either the SRX700 or SR500... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
