Ibanez SR600E-AST Antique Brown Stained Burst bass guitar

Ibanez SR600E-AST

The Ibanez SR 600E is a new 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 at the end of the 1980s and is still evolving today. The SR 600 is a tall model from the Standard line, equipped with superb Nordstrand™ Big Break pickups and a proprietary Ibanez preamp. The SR 600 bass performs well in most musical genres and with a variety of playing techniques. Whether you play with fingers, picks or slap technique... we are always able to adjust the sound to current needs. The second issue is ergonomics - the bass is light, perfectly balanced and the neck has a narrow and gentle profile, so we do not fight with the clunkiness of the instrument. Also noteworthy is the finish of the ash body - Antique Brown Stained Burst, which gives the guitar a natural and elegant character.

Rosewood fretboard

Rosewood provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

Nordstrand Big Break pickups

Nordstrand "Big Break" pickups cram a meaty split coil into a soapbar-style pickup, producing a full-bodied, powerful, aggressive tonal texture, while still retaining the clarity that's characteristic of single coil tone with noiseless performance.

Accu-cast B500 bridge

The Accu-cast B500 bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist’s specific string spacing needs.
