Ibanez

collapse expand iconDescription

The SRC6MS multi-scale bass from Ibanez is made to explore a vast yet largely uncharted middle ground where the world of bass and guitar converge. An okoume body known for a bright and solid sound is paired with a 5-piece jatoba/walnut neck for tonal clarity and a superior attack. This is topped with a rosewood fretboard, which provides a well-balanced, solid tone with a focused midrange suitable for a wide variety of genres. Two Bartolini BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom end, punchy mid-range and smooth response in a dual-coil style configuration that maximizes articulation. A long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response. The multi-scale construction equalizes tension of each string and it helps to create a more ”alive,” open tone. But the design also improves player comfort by ergonomically coordinating with the way a player's hand angles as it moves up and down the neck, facilitating quick, comfortable playing action. Additional features include 3-band EQ, a Mono-rail bridge and an EQ bypass switch for precision tonal adjustments.

    Ibanez is pushing boundaries and blurring distinctions between "what is a bass guitar" and "what is a baritone guitar" and "what is a standard guitar" with the new SRC6MS 6-String Multi-Scale Electric Bass. I play bass, baritone, and standard guitar - so this instrument is hitting all the marks with it's scale length, string gauges, low weight, and overall feel. The SRC6MS so much fun to play and you can go in just about any direction with it. Fingerstyle, chording, thumb, slap - this "bass" pretty much does it all. (caveat: If you have large hands this instrument will probably not be your best choice.)

  • Probably my fault but this isn't the bass I imagined

    This is not what you imagine when you hear 6bstring bass the strings are much smaller and tighter together.

    Just played one at guitar center. Its a 6 string bass that plays just like a 6 string guitar. Lots of Fun. all shred guitar techniques with a pick are just as EZ to execute on this as they are on guitar including sweeps, so its better to tune it just like a guitar I think. Great instrument for following shred guitar parts note for note on bass. So I feel it gives you an advantage if you are using a pick, but if you are using finger bass techniques it is not the greatest for slapping as it plays just like a guitar and slapping is Ezer to play with a wider distance between string than this. Great instrument. I didn't think I would want one till I played it, Now I definetaly do.
