Ibanez SR606E CTF 6-String Electric Bass in Cosmic Blue Starburst Flat

Ibanez SR606E CTF 6-String Electric Bass in Cosmic Blue Starburst Flat

The Ibanez SR606E CTF 6-String Electric Bass, finished in Cosmic Blue Starburst Flat, provides players with a smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics. A 5pc Jatoba/Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack, while a Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range. An Ash body provides the SR606E with a pleasantly bright tone, with plenty of sustain, and is a great tonal foundation for a pair of Nordstrand Big Break pickups. These 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.

An Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ expands the SR606E's sonic versatility even further, with a simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centred on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favourable bass tones. An EQ bypass control engages passive-only operation, turning the treble tone control knob into a global tone control. A 3-way Mid frequency switch allow players to change the mid-tone between 250, 450, and 700 Hz. The adjustable Accu-cast B506 bridge also allows for variable string spacing (+/- 1.5mm; default 16.5mm).

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Ibanez SR606E CTF 6-String Electric Bass, finished in Cosmic Blue Starburst Flat, is a great option for 6-String bassists looking for an ultra-reliable workhorse, with plenty of tone shaping options, and a pair of meaty pickups.
