The SR505M is a five string Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez in 2011. It was made in Indonesia as part of the Standard line.

The SR505 features a double-cutaway mahogany body bolted to a maple and rosewood SR5 neck with a 24-fret maple fingerboard with black dot position markers. Components include a pair of Bartolini MK1-5 passive pickups with an Ibanez EQB-IIIS preamp with 3-band EQ with a mid-frequency toggle, an Accu-cast B25 fixed bridge with 16.5mm string spacing, a plastic nut, and cosmo black Ibanez die-cast tuning machines.

For 2012 the bridge was replaced with the new Accu-cast B305.

The SR500M and SR506M are four-string and six-string versions. The SR505 is a similar model with a rosewood fretboard.

The SR505M was discontinued after 2012.
