Ibanez SR506E-BM Brown Mahogany 6-string bass guitar

Ibanez SR506E-BM

The Ibanez SR 506E is a six-string variant of one of the most popular bass guitars in the world - this is not just a marketing ploy but the result of research. So what lies behind the success of this model? The SR series of basses was introduced to the market in the late 1980s and continues to grow to this day. The SR 506 is the medium model of the Standard line. The instrument is equipped with legendary Bartolini BH-2 pickups, which have defined the Ibanez sound for years. The SR 506 bass works well in most musical genres and with a variety of playing techniques. Whether you play with fingers, picks or slap technique... you can always adjust the sound to suit your needs. The second issue is ergonomics - the bass is quite light, excellently balanced and the neck has a narrow and gentle profile, thanks to which we do not fight with the clunkiness of the instrument. The price/performance ratio and the sound potential offered definitely stands out against the competition and it is not surprising that its popularity is growing.
