General

The most recent step in the rich evolution of the Soundgear 500 Series has arrived in the form of the SR500E. Mounted with two BH-2 soapbar pickups and a Custom Electronics preamp, this bass comes with all of that familiar, active, Soundgear solid body sound but can now be switched to passive, converting the treble pot into a tone pot. The fresh pickups faithfully transfer all of the warmth produced by the light okoume body to the preamp, resulting in a tight feel across the high and low-end, that's then finished with a prominent midrange.

The SR500E: Extensive Control and Playability

While the three-band EQ offers detailed control when it comes to customising the sound of this Ibanez bass, the three-way switch of the mid-pot affords the option to add or shave off 700, 450 and 250Hz as preferred. The lightweight and slim body of this 4-string is not the only feature that makes it so appealing to bassists, no matter their ilk, but there's also the slick, satin feel of the matt finish and the saddles of the Accu-Cast B500 that allow the 19mm string spacing to be adjusted by up to 1.5mm in any direction, accommodating anyone's playing technique.
