The SRMS806: The Soundgear Spirit, Optimized for Multi-Scale

Within the Soundgear family, ergonomics are a hallmark: fast neck, overall balance, and smooth access across the entire range. The SRMS806 pushes this philosophy forward with a decidedly modern approach thanks to the multi-scale design, engineered to stabilize the extreme low end without sacrificing comfort on the high strings. The result: a 6-string crafted for extended tunings, precision, and modern playing styles.

For Which Bassists and Styles?

This Ibanez is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert bassists seeking a responsive, comfortable, and versatile 6-string. It excels in progressive metal, fusion, modern funk, gospel, pop, and studio contexts where low-end definition and midrange control make the difference. Its 16.5 mm / 0.65" spacing favors finger speed, chords, tapping, as well as more precise and controlled slap techniques.

Sound Characteristics

The Bartolini BH2 (dual-coil) pickups deliver a firm and articulated response: tight lows, present mids that cut through the mix, and smoother highs without harshness. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ refines the balance with true frequency control, complemented by a midrange switch (250 Hz / 450 Hz / 700 Hz) to shift from a rounded tone to a more biting attack. The bypass switch allows switching to passive mode, where the treble knob acts as a global tone control. On the craftsmanship side, okoumé provides warmth and responsiveness, the burl poplar top enhances projection, and the panga panga fingerboard adds a sharp attack; the multi-scale design improves definition and sustain, especially on the B string.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

For transport and protection, the MB300C (case) and IBB540-BK (gig bag) are recommended as suitable solutions for this model. To stay close to the original setup, a string set like D'Addario EXL170-5SL supplemented with a .032 gauge string replicates the .032 / .045 / .065 / .080 / .100 / .130 gauges, adapted to the factory tuning and the spirit of the SRMS806.
