Styled in an oil finish, the Ibanez SR Prestige Series SR5000 is an electric bass featuring a wenge top and an African mahogany body, as well as an Atlas-4, bolt-on, five-piece wenge/bubinga neck with KTS Titanium rods. This neck, measuring 34" in scale, offers a wenge fingerboard with 24 medium frets. Fret positions are demarcated with mother of pearl and abalone oval inlays.
For electronics, the bass features Bartolini Custom soapbar pickups that offer a deep tone in the neck position and a bright timbre in the bridge position. A balance knob gives you a wide tonal palette as you blend between the two.
Complementing the pickups is an active 3-band EQ that provides controls for cut/boost over treble, mid, and bass frequencies. A 3-way, mid-frequency selector switch toggles between 250, 450, and 700 Hz, while the EQ on/off switch turns off the active circuit allowing the treble knob to function as a passive EQ tone circuit. Additionally, the bass is fitted with gold hardware including a Mono-rail V bridge, as well as a set of Gotoh machineheads tuners on the headstock.
