Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Ibanez dealer

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.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great sounding bass"

Sound: This bass produces all the sounds you could possibly want. The three band EQ is great. I play every weekend and have had no problems getting the sounds I like. Feature: I love the looks and I love the sound. Best six string if your not going over $2000. Quality: Best six I can afford. I also have the SR505 as a back up, and I packed up my 64 Fender Jazz when I wanted more strings. The only thing I would really change is the jack where you plug the guitar in, the angled entry is ,in my opinion, not the most solid connection possible, Value: Best value I can find ! Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed any The Wow Factor: I don't sleep with it. But I do bring it home with me after every gig. Overall: I intend to play it as long as I played my Fender( if I live another 30 years)

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "EXCELLENT BASS for 1st time 6 stringers!"

Sound: The sound of this bass is amazingly versatile! I had never played bartolinis before this bass yet alone the MK1 series but I am blown away by the sound. I tried many different brands of 6'ers (including Spector, and Warwicks) and I have to say that this bass stood out..even with the dead strings that it was equiped with (Elixirs yuck!!!). Just had the bass's action and intonation set up and its probably THE best bass Ive ever played now. My sound can vary from deep, nasty funk to straight ahead jazz (with nasty rock in between!) and this bass more that delivers. Feature: LOVED the electronics, VERY flexible palette of sounds! Quality: Love the oil finish on the bass, never had a bass with one before, although mine had some 'dry' spots under my neck pickup which were quickly rubbed out when I brought her in for a complete setup. There also was an imperfection in the back of the neck by the headstock (a pretty rough spot between the wenge seams!)..that also was taken care of at setup time. I would have to say that beyond its excellent sound palette, the smooth satin neck is amazingly playable...much better than some VERY expensive 6'ers I've played. Value: ABSOLUTELY the best value around, I don't think you can find a better bass (with all its features) for the money. The Wow Factor: I just LOVED the look of the hand rubbed oil stain, made the bass look so much more expensive than it is!!! Overall: This is by far the best bass that I've ever owned, the only improvement that I'd recommend is a neck-thru redesign...but that's my taste.

Style of Music: a little of everything, although I lean toward funk-related progressive rock
