SR5000 (disambiguation)

For the current model, see SR5000.

SR5000 is a model name used to refer to several varieties of Soundgear series solid body electric bass guitars offered in the late 1990s and again from 2009. All of these models were produced in Japan by FujiGen and are part of the upscale Prestige line.

1996–1999 SR5000 models

All of these models have a special arched, multi-piece body in a double-cutaway shape. The differences between them have to do with the wood species used in their construction. In each of them the body is bolted to a bubinga and wenge SR4 neck with a 24-fret wenge fingerboard with abalone oval position markers and a "Custom Made" inlay at the 24th fret. The headstock features a striped ebony veneer and a valoot. For further details on the components and any differences see the individual articles linked below.
