Ibanez SRC6MS 6-String Bass Guitar - Black Stained Burst Low Gloss

The SRC Crossover breaks new ground by bridging the gap between bass and guitar, creating an innovative instrument that opens up fresh sonic possibilities for musicians across both disciplines. This groundbreaking design explores the largely untapped middle ground where traditional boundaries dissolve, offering players access to a completely new spectrum of tonal options.

At the heart of this instrument are the Bartolini BH2 pickups, engineered to provide tight low-end response, punchy midrange character, and remarkably smooth output. The dual-coil configuration maximises note articulation while the extended blade pole pieces create a wider magnetic field, ensuring balanced response across all strings for consistent pickup performance.

The sophisticated Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ represents the latest advancement in straightforward, practical tone control. A clever innovation sees the Mid Control’s Boost and Cut functions centred on different frequencies, providing access to a carefully curated range of optimal bass tones. The EQ bypass function allows for precise tonal adjustments and includes a switch for passive-only operation, with the treble control becoming a global tone knob when the EQ is bypassed.

The multi-scale construction serves dual purposes – equalising string tension for a more vibrant, open tone while significantly improving playing comfort. This ergonomic design naturally coordinates with the hand’s movement up and down the neck, promoting fluid, comfortable playing technique that enhances overall performance.
