The "Crossover" Link in the SR Family
Designed as a bridge between guitar and bass, the SRC6MS adopts the sleek ergonomics of the SR series while offering an extended range across 6 strings. Its multiscale design modernizes the "E-E" concept by optimizing playability and intonation, whether for deep bass lines, textured chords, or melodic parts on a baritone guitar.
For Whom and Which Styles
Ideal for curious bassists and guitarists from intermediate to advanced levels, the SRC6MS excels in modern rock, progressive metal, ambient, produced pop, and studio work. Its fast response and versatile electronics facilitate layering, fingerstyle, pick playing, and effects processing.
The Sound
The Bartolini BH2 pickups deliver powerful, clean lows, clear mids, and silky highs. The okoumé body adds liveliness and clear low mids, while the rosewood fingerboard centers the mids for a sound that sits well in the mix. Mono-Rail bridges isolate each string for maximum definition and long sustain. The Ibanez 3-band preamp offers precise boost/cut with bypass: in passive mode, the overall tone is adjusted via the treble potentiometer. The 3-position mid switch (250/450/700 Hz) allows you to lock in the groove, make a solo cut through, or brighten accompaniment with a single click.

Questions frequently asked
What is the original tuning of the Ibanez SRC6MS-BLL?
The factory tuning is E-E: 1E, 2B, 3G, 4D, 5A, and 6E, with D'Addario EXL156 strings in .024 to .084 gauge.
What does the multiscale from 30 to 28.5 inches provide?
The multiscale from 762 to 724 mm optimizes intonation and string tension across the six strings. The 30-inch length on the low side ensures stable response, while 28.5 inches on the treble side facilitates melodic playing.
Can the SRC6MS be used in passive mode?
An EQ bypass allows deactivating the 3-band active preamp. In this mode, the treble control functions as a passive tone. The mid selector offers three frequencies: 250, 450, or 700 Hz.
What strings should be installed on this 6-string Bass VI style bass?
The original D'Addario EXL156 strings, with gauges .024/.034/.044/.056/.072/.084, are designed for this tuning and multiscale setup. A 6-string Bass VI type set with the same gauges is recommended.
Is this Ibanez bass available for left-handed players?
This version is indicated as not available in a left-handed configuration. The 5-piece jatoba/walnut neck has a nut width of 42 mm and 22 medium frets.
