Ibanez Premium SR5A250 USA 250th Anniversary 5-String Electric Bass Guitar - Red, White, and Blue

With its commanding voice and striking stage presence, the Ibanez Premium SR5A250 stands as a high-performance salute to the bold American spirit. Marking the 250th anniversary of the United States, this limited-edition 5-string bass pairs a red, white and blue finish with the high-end craftsmanship of the Ibanez Premium line. Beneath the commemorative design is a precision-built instrument, featuring an African mahogany body and a five-piece panga panga and purpleheart neck reinforced with KTS titanium rods for exceptional stability and sustain. Nordstrand Big Break pickups deliver a powerful, articulate voice, while the active three-band EQ, EQ bypass and three-way mid frequency switch provide a wide, highly controllable tonal range. It’s a modern SR built for clarity, control and consistency—all wrapped in a striking, celebratory finish that pays homage to a historic milestone.

African Mahogany Body for Warmth and Sustain

The SR5A250 features an African mahogany body that delivers a balanced tonal foundation with warmth, clarity and strong sustain. Its naturally resonant character supports a wide dynamic range, keeping low-end response full without becoming muddy and allowing higher frequencies to remain defined. The SR body shape is contoured for comfort and balance, sitting naturally against the player for extended sessions while maintaining a lightweight feel that doesn’t sacrifice tonal presence.

Titanium-Reinforced Atlas Neck for Stability and Fast Playability

A five-piece panga panga and purpleheart Atlas neck provides a stable, responsive platform designed for precision playing. Reinforced with KTS titanium rods, it resists movement over time while enhancing sustain and note clarity. The slim SR profile allows for fast, fluid movement across the extended range, while the bound panga panga fingerboard adds a tight, focused attack with clear note separation. Ibanez’s premium fret edge treatment ensures a smooth, comfortable feel, making every session effortless.

Nordstrand Pickups and Advanced EQ for Precise Tone Control

Nordstrand Big Break pickups pack a split-coil design inside a soapbar format, delivering a full, punchy low end with the clarity and articulation typically associated with single-coil tones—without added noise. This gives you a strong, defined foundation that holds together across styles. The Ibanez Custom three-band EQ provides straightforward control over bass, mid and treble, while the three-way mid frequency switch lets you dial in the exact midrange character you need. An EQ bypass switch enables passive operation, offering a more traditional response when desired. Together, these features create a versatile, highly controllable tonal platform for both stage and studio use.

Performance Hardware with Limited-Edition Styling

The MR5S bridge allows for precise intonation adjustments and flexible string spacing, giving players control over feel and setup. Gotoh machine heads provide smooth, reliable tuning stability, while a Graph Tech black TUSQ XL nut helps maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions. The limited-edition red, white and blue finish, paired with a matching headstock and acrylic block inlays, completes the commemorative design with bold, unmistakable presence.
