zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Take your bass playing to a new world with this affordable 6-string. Two humbucking picks provide punchy tone and tight response.

Overview

Ibanez SR basses boast exquisite tone and modern detailing so you can play your best each time you plug in. The Ibanez SR256 electric bass is versatile enough to play any kind of music, while SR's signature "slim and fast" neck gives you great playability. A firmly attached B16 bridge gives great sustain by sufficiently delivering the string vibrations to the body. The original Ibanez CAP EXF-N2 vertically wound pickups provide a punchy humbucking response. Output balance is maintained, string-to-string, by the design of the matching arched pickup cover and coil inside pickup unit. 'Fast swap' battery cavity cover with no more lost cavity plates.

Features:

- Lightweight, balanced comfort-contoured bodies
- Thinner necks than traditional basses, for effortless fretwork
- Bartolini MK-1 pickups are equipped on model SR500 and above
- Newly designed EXF-N2 pickups on SR250/300/370/400 series provide punchy humbucking sound with well balanced output volume of each string

I've been playing bass for 4 years, though I advanced quickly due to my experience with other instruments and intense discipline. I'm very pleased with this bass because you're getting a lot of bang for your buck. There are cheaper 6 string basses, but they are 3/4 scale which is useless. This is the least expensive good bass on the market in my opinion. Being a fan of Dream Theater, I saw John Myung's playing and wanted to be able to play an instrument that would allow me to execute anything my heart desired. I use all six strings in my playing in order to execute anything from bass licks to double the guitar, or low and heavy passages. There is room to upgrade, but I wanted something now, and this fit the price range and requirements.
