quenbrad Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Hi all, Up for sale or trade is an Ibanez SR506E 6-String bass. Asking price £450. I recently bought this used from Bass Direct as I fancied trying a sixer. I really like it but I keep going back to my 4 string so this has to go. I'm sure you know the spec but... Neck type: 5pc Jatoba/Bubinga neck Body: Mahogany body Fretboard: Rosewood fretboard Frets: Medium frets Number of frets: 24 Bridge: Accu-cast bridge (16.5mm string spacing) Neck pickup: Bartolini® MK-1 neck pickup (Passive) Bridge pickup: Bartolini® MK-1 bridge pickup (Passive) Equaliser: 3-band eq with 2 way mid frequency switch It was made in 2014 and is in really superb condition. The neck is perfect and the frets are great. The body is basically unmarked apart from a bit of damage to the bottom edge as I've tried to show in the pictures. No effect on tone or feel of course. The electronics work perfectly. As mentioned I recently bought it from Bass Direct so it has just had a full clean and setup. I've installed a brand new set of D'Addario EXL170-6 Nickel Wound 32-130 strings so it's good to go. It's great to play. Obviously it isn't a high end boutique bass but for what it is it's really impressive. Very well put together and feels great under the hands. Happy to include the gig bag in the pictures (Warwick Leather Rockbag) in the deal and no problem to ship at the buyers expense. I am open to trades... definitely 4 string, ideally passive but active also considered. I'm particularly interested in perhaps trading for an old Japanese made Yamaha TRB4. Really interested to try a Cort Jeff Berlin Rithimic. Potentially interested in old Warwick Corvettes or Streamers. Anyway, thanks for reading. If you're interested in making a trade or sale offer please don't hesitate to get in touch.

quenbrad Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hey Dave, thanks for the trade offers. Not really interested in the bits and pieces and that Streamer is cool but not really what I'm looking for. Thanks again though. Much appreciated.

FinnDave Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I bought one of these new to try out a year ago - since I got it, I haven't played my four strings at all! It's done quite a few gigs in the last year, and was my choice as the only bass I could take to Germany for some gigs earlier this year. In short, a great bass! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quenbrad Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hmm. A day of pondering. Thanks for the trade offers but I've actually decided to keep the SR506 for now. It's a decent bass and I think I'd miss it if I sold it. Gonna give it more time and see if I take to it. Sorry to mess you about.
