You cannot beat this bass for the price. The construction is superb, combining beauty with playability. Haven't found a better bass for under $1000. There are 3 bass players including myself in my high school and all of us play some kind of sr500. They are simply the best playing, best sounding bass available in this range.
I received this bass a few hours ago. I've played Rickenbackers, Ernie Balls, Fender Jazz basses... nothing comes close to this bass. I am completely in shock at the quality of it. The pickups give it an excellent tone, and the neck is EXTREMELY comfortable. It brings my hand pleasure. Anything goes with it. Plucking, Pulling, Picking, Slapping, Tapping... It's all flawless. The over-all look of it is astonishing-- a lot better in person than picture. ESPECIALLY for the money -- this bass is A++++ I can't believe it's not over 1k.
I've had the SR500 for over a year now and let me tell you, this bass is flawless in tone. You get everything from fierce bottom end to nice mellow piano like mids. I put some Fender nylon wounds on this thing and it still sounds like my ceiling is about to cave in.The ONLY flaw about this bass is that it's not made for popping and slapping. Don't get me wrong, it sounds great but everythime my fingernails hit the body I end up gouging out some wood. But to me it does not matter, this bass is THE bass for me, and Im not going to sell it. It's the lightest bass I ever held and the neck is so super thin it feels as if Im playing air bass.Get this bass, and try out the Fender nylon wounds. They're a good match.
I just bought it and I love it.I looked for many guitars in this price range and its absolutely the best guitar.Very comfortable neck and a wide range of sounds with the EQ.
I played this bass at my local music store and was blown away. The guitar feels great in your hands and the Bartolini pick-ups offer great sound with a lot of versatility. I just ordered mine from Music123 and can't wait to get it. If you are looking for a fast fretboard and the ability to play different types of music, this is the bass.
