The SR Line, the Benchmark of Modern Ergonomics
For decades, Ibanez's SR series has stood out for its playability and contemporary spirit. The SR506A continues this DNA: a slim neck, exemplary balance, and refined electronics. It sits at the heart of the range as an accessible and professional 6-string, designed for bassists who want to extend their range without sacrificing comfort.
Designed for Modern 6-String Playing
Ideal for intermediate to advanced players, the SR506A covers a wide spectrum of styles: technical and progressive metal, fusion, modern jazz, funk/groove, and neo-soul. The extended low tuning facilitates deep lines and chord voicings, while the SR neck remains fluid for tapping, slap, and fingerstyle playing.
Sound
The okoumé body delivers clear lows and solid mids, ideal for mixing. The rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and roundness to attacks. The Bartolini BH2 pickups, in long blade dual-coil format, ensure even output across each string, precise lows, and incisive mids, perfect for cutting through without harshness. The 3-band EQ instantly refines your tone, the 3-position selector shifts mid frequencies to shape character, and the passive mode (EQ bypass) with dedicated tone control provides an organic and dynamic response. The MR5S bridge with adjustable saddles optimizes sustain and intonation, while allowing string-by-string spacing adjustment (+/-1.5 mm) for a truly customized feel.
