Description

Ibanez built the SR650EABS as part of the SR (Soundgear) Series, positioning it in the upper tier of the line with a passive pickup configuration and active EQ electronics. The model carried an Antique Brown Stained finish and centred its specification around the combination of an ash body with a five-piece Jatoba/Walnut neck — a pairing Ibanez used in the SR range to balance resonance and rigidity.

The neck runs to 24 medium frets on a Jatoba fretboard with abalone oval inlays, a 38mm plastic nut, and a 34-inch / 864mm scale. Neck dimensions measure 19.5mm thick at the first fret and 21.5mm at the twelfth, with a 305mm radius and a 62mm width at the twenty-fourth fret. String spacing at the Accu-cast B500 bridge is 19mm. Pickups are a Nordstrand CND P at the neck and a Nordstrand CND J at the bridge, both passive, feeding an Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ with an EQ bypass switch — passive tone control on the treble pot — and a 3-way mid-frequency switch. Hardware throughout is finished in black. The bass left the factory strung with D'Addario EXL165 strings (.045/.065/.085/.105) in standard E–A–D–G tuning.

Owners seeking replacement parts — including bridge saddles compatible with the Accu-cast B500, Nordstrand CND-series pickup covers, or Jatoba fretboard care products — should consult a qualified luthier or guitar technician who can verify fit against the instrument's specific dimensions before installation.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
