Product Description of:

Ibanez SR506 6 String Electric Bass Guitar

The Ibanez SR506 is a huge upgrade in this price range, complete with Bartolini MK1 pickups and 3-band EQ, and a fast bubinga and jatoba neck. Since 1987, bassists who want the power and versatility of active electronics and the speed of the fastest neck available have made Soundgear standard equipment in every genre. As music evolves, so does the Soundgear concept. The SR500 family is one example of this evolution. The SR506 is a huge upgrade in playability and tone.

SR506 Series Features

Thinner necks with thinner nuts than traditional basses.
Sleek bodies that are lightweight, balanced and comfort contoured.
Active EQ's perfectly matched with the right choice of passive or active pickups.

Sleek, sexy and sonically versatile are the reasons Soundgears can be found in every kind of music from gospel to goth to garage rock. Bassists who want the power and versatility of active electronics and fastest neck available have made the Soundgear standard equipment in the most controlled studio environments and the most out-of-control live performances.

Ibanez MB100C Style Case
To protect and transport your bass, Ibanez recommends the optional MB100C Style Electric Bass Guitar Case (#IBA MB100C).

THE TRAVELING BASS PLAYER's BESTFRIEND

Quality:

I would undoubtedly consider this product to be well engineered and a very fine sound. Because it's so well crafted it is awesome in quality. Very Very dependable!!!!!!

Features:

I love the EQs and the Berhinger pickups on this bass guitar. If I could add or change anything about this product is where the jack is plugged in. Most jacks fit but some others might not fit because it's not positioned on the outside trim of the bass guitar.

Sound:

The tone is fabulous!!! There's little to no feedback when played and it easily allows bassists to personalize the tone they consider to be rich. No matter the preset the tone is phenomenal.

Playability and Feel:

Because there's an awesome EQ on the bass (bass, treble, mid, pickup, volume) you can easily get the sound you want at your fingertips! The neck is pretty heavy but is somewhat inconsistent at the top of the neck. easily controllable while playing.

Tone:

You make it what you want!!!!!

Finish:

I was a little taken back about having an unfinished mahogany bass guitar but I realized it isn't anything that can't be sprayed down with special wood cleaner.

Action:

I've been playing the Ibanez SR506 6 String for a while now and believe it or not this bass has the playability of the Musicman, Fender, or Ken Smith. The italian pickups from Berhinger makes it worth the money and it sounds sooooo clean. I tour globally and this is my bass of choice each and every time.

Solid bass

Quality:

This bass is built solid and seemed like it would last. Nothing loose or flimsy.

Features:

The preamp provides a lot of variety in tone selection. Elixir strings were nice.

Sound:

Sounded clean and resonant.

Playability and Feel:

String spacing is a little too close for me. I wasn't use to playing a six string bass, which may have been a factor.

Tone:

Variable fromdark and smooth to bright and crisp depending on the amp and bass preamp settings used.

Finish:

Nice, but plain

Action:

Low and easy to play

I sold it to get a five string bass.
