    Ibanez SR506 Strings

    Hey guys and gals! I have mostly played flats (Chromes, Rotos, and TIs) and am new to the six string game. And, I am looking for the best sounding of the very versatile rounds when playing fingerstyle (normally) and using a pick (aggressive plucking, chording, and soloing) with no slapping...

    ESP LTD B206-SM vs. Ibanez SR506

    Greetings! First official post here after reading for years. After about 30 years of playing bass, I’m looking to get a six string. Because I’ve always followed a “punk rock ethic” budget, I’m really only considering basses under $500. These two are both currently available locally, and I’m...

    Ibanez sr506 strip down and Tru-oil refinish

    The Ibanez sr506 is a great six string bass with a really crappy finish that wears off easily. I sanded off all of the old finish and took the time to refinish the body and neck with Tru-oil. Wow! I am happy that I did. I would recommend this to anyone with an sr506 that has a failing finish...

    Found Ibanez SR506 for $350 - good price?

    Hey, all. Been a while since I've been here - had an old account under the name "lunchmeat317" that I've forgotten the password for. I wanted your expertise, though! I've found an Ibanez SR506 (mahogany finish) at my local pawn shop, for $350. It seems as though it's been set up quite well; the...

    Should I get a used 5 string Jazz bass or Ibanez SR506?

    I am on my two final decisions and I was wondering if anybody had experience with either or both of these basses? So can a couple people help me and list the pros and cons of a 5 string Mexican jazz bass and the Ibanez SR506? Much appreciated!

    Making the plunge to 6 strings

    Greetings fellow bassters! I've been a strict 4 string player my whole life, always considering the low B to sound muddy, the high C to sound tinny. Not to mention Jaco didn't need any more than 4. I also played upright as my main focus for many years, and I liked to keep as much consistency as...

    As the name of the post would suggest, I'm in need of new pickups and electronics for an ibanez sr506. I know very little about either of these things, and am looking for suggestions on what type would be the best. I looked at the emg website, and I was thinking about the BQS system pickups to...

    Fretless Ibanez SR506 Advice

    I learned Jaco was right and frets are just speed bumps, so I need a fretless to replace my trusty ESP. I've always loved the look and feel of the SR500s and just found a great price on the 506. Ibanez doesn't have a lot of 6-string fretless options, and I am not a portamento guy at all, so I...

    NBD Ibanez SR506 and a discovery

    Hey guys! I've been working on a project with a drummer friend, and at the outset we decided that we didn't want guitar driven music. We're trying to do a sort of instrumental electronic funk with indie elements, think Alt-J meets Griz, Ott, Glass Animals, etc. Ever since that decision I've...

I have a more specific question in mind: My Ibanez SR506 is strung with Carvin 6011, and for the most part I love my tone, but only after I cut the mids 20-90% when it's toggled to 250Hz.
