possibly my favorite series from Ibanez. My SR1005 was one of the best basses I ever owned. One of very few I regret selling.

But congrats on yours... shes a beauty!

I know, I know I just got my SR600, and I shouldn't lust after other basses...but can we just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this SR5000?

I despise gold hardware, but I'd buy this in a heartbeat.


Yeah, the preamp is about $110-120 online, and I'd have to order it. My only problem is newer preamps have a separate battery cavity and this bass does not. Any recommendations for a good preamp that has the batterycavity included?

That is amazing, but I'll see your SR5000 and raise you a new Poplar Burl SR805.

That's a whole lot of Burl going on. I actually saw one of these in person at a local GC last weekend. It was drop dead gorgeous in person. Hate to admit it, but had I known in December that this new model was going to hit the market for 2013, I'd have probably gone for this model. But, my SR-705 is beautiful, so I can't complain too awful much.
I love 'em all but I'm not sure poplar burl can be topped.
Only way I can see that being topped is if they release a model with purple heart and spalted maple or burl, that would be sexy![]()

:scowl:How bout a graphite neck through with hog wings?
I'll pretend like I didn't read that...:scowl:

Awesome is as awesome does.
That is indeed beautiful...ugh, so much Ibanez GAS. Actually considered selling my Fender the other day.
It's a good thing that not everybody likes the same things, otherwise this world would be veeeeeeeery boring![]()
Well thats right but I cant help but wish that Ibanez would make one of these for about $2000:

If they could, I would![]()
Haha, nice one. Yeah I'm not doing well financially at the moment, but the SR Prestige 5006e is my dream bass for sure. I like the Premium 1206e too, but if I could afford it, I would go for the SR 5006e for sure!! (and possibly make it fretless)
