The SR800A is a Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 1998. It was made in Japan.

The SR800A features a double cutaway light ash body bolted to a maple neck with a matching headstock and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot position markers. Components included a pair of IBZ AFR J/P pickups, an Accu-cast B20 fixed bridge, and black hardware.
