This is the 94-96 version.
Look here http://www.ibanezregister.com/Gallery/basses/sr/gal-sr505.htm
I have a 93 505 [seen earlyer in thread]
To me the new 505s don't even come close to the 90's ones in terms of sound and playability.

hurrah, i can finally join the club! i'll be getting a K5 this weekend....yeh yeh i know...
right now, i'm just brainstorming for alternate meanings for what the hideous K5 fretboard splatter could mean (when people inevitably ask).
the best i could come up with is that it's a new species of dog, more efficient than the K9.

I've played the SRX line, including the 400 at Guitar Center and was floored. The neck felt great, and the electronics were remarkably versatile.
Agreed, I played on a 390 the other day, and was blown away!!! However, I could never justify spending the extra cash on the 500, when the only difference is the 3-piece neck and the bridge!Marcus Alan said:

Well, I just bought an ATK 305 from Funkdified, so it should be here in the next week or two! I can't wait!!

I had the exact twin to that bass! What a great recording bass - it totally smoked the '73 Precision I had at the time! The goofy "scrimshaw" look did take getting used to, though.
I've got three:
RKB900 -- strung with La Bella DTB flats. This thing is a thump machine. I like everything about this bass, especially the neck and the pickups. It is solid, beautifully constructed and feels powerful in hand. Known as Blackie II, or lately Black Thunder.
SR400 -- strung with TI Jazz flats. My first bass; it is extremely playable but I've never been crazy about the tone . . . until I put the TI's on it. Now it purrs like a kitty. It is known as the Battleship after my buddy dropped it down three stairs onto a concrete floor and it escaped without the slightest nick on it (and only the E string was out of tune).
(The third is below due to two photo max.)

The third is an AEB10 -- strung with TI Acousticores. I don't play it much, but it is great for quiet practice or for the occasional acoustic sit-around with the guys. It sounds awesome recorded direct. Known as Blackie I.
No pix but I have a translucent red GSR190. Had an SR406 that I got rid of to get a MIM Jazz, I kinda regret selling it. And last weekend I got an SRX505. Man the SRX rocks. I went to get a new cab and wound up with the new bass instead, on sale for $352. I don't know what it is but I keep going back to Ibanez. Good bang for the buck.
Ibanez issued important notice.
