Manufacturer's Description for Ibanez SR506 6-String Electric Bass

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 models feature a fast SR6 neck (bubinga/wenge), a mahogany body, and Bartolini MK1 pickups. Onboard Bartolini 3-band EQ provides precise tone control.

SR 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. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Ibanez products.

Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (139 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Just awsome!!!"
Sound: I will admit that I am biased as I am hardcore Bartolini user, nonetheless it sounds incredible, especially at the price of the bass. This bass could go for three times the price and still be well worth the money. Feature: All the hardware on this bass is high quality and flawlessly installed. Ease of Use: The string spacing is a bit narrower than I am used to but it's nothing that a bit practice will not fix. Quality: The construction is stellar. The neck is set into the body so tightly, you cannot slip a piece of paper between the neck and the body. The frets installed perfectly, the action is super fast and it came set-up perfectly out of the box. Value: As I said previously, this bass is worth three times the price. Manufacturer Support: This is my fourth Ibanez and I have not needed any support from them yet, so I cannot say. The Wow Factor: Just gorgeous! This bass is straight eye candy!! Overall: Awsome; a bass you can hold onto for a lifetime!
Style of Music: Rock and blues.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "SR506..ONE OF THE BEST!!! aka..A BEAST!!!!"
Sound: The sound is by far one of the best produced from basses that ive heard. Now the treble can overpower the sound if you boost it alot but at the "0" level it is perfect. Just like most of the people are saying, the different sound possibilites are great. I tend to go for more of that Ken Smith sound and can dial it in on this bass without having to pay that RIDICULOUS Ken Smith price.....RIDICULOUS!!!! Im play it thru my hartke 7000 amp with BBE processor and I LOVE IT....AND SO DOES EVERYBODY ELSE THAT HAS HEARD IT!!! Feature: Well it came with a cable but i'm not going to use it.....Also the allen wrentches for adjusting the truss rod if i have to. Ease of Use: Well i plugged it in drop tuned it a half step and went on from there. Quality: Well nothing is perfect but this bass is very, VERY CLOSE. The quality surpasses the price tag. Right out of the box the action was set good for me, everything was tight, no blemishes at all....it even smelled nice..how bout that! Value: Definetly worth the money! I played a more expensive BTB model and this bass is even with it. I dont wanna say it's worth more than the asking price because they might just start charging more!!!LOL...but it is! I think that it's great to be able to get a bass of this value and still not have to go without eating for a month just to obtain it. Manufacturer Support: Well i havent had to use them yet but it was easy to register the bass. Just went to the website and viola The Wow Factor: Well...ive never called a bass "sexy" and that's what they asked us to rate it on...the sex appeal...hmmmm. It does look good though. It has a professional and more expensive apperance. Overall: Well i also own the SR406 (the model before this one), and i still like it. So i know i'll have this bass for years to come if it holds up like its older brother.
Style of Music: Gospel, Jazz
