ibanez sr506 club

GOD, I never get tired of seeing that, youve made it even sexier, and I hear shes passive now? Post some sound clips or a youtube vid.

yup shes passive now, and its a whole new bass so much more tone.. That preamp really robs this bass of tone more than it helps. And there still stock pickups.

oh and I added a series/parallel switch to the mix today.. WOW its got some ultra thumpy old school tone.

So there is 3 switches now, a 3 way for pickups, a kill switch, and a series/parallel switch(when on series the 3 way is bypassed, in parallel it works as normal), master volume, master tone. Using 250K pots versus the stock 500K thats in the preamp.

here ya go.. audio and video

I gotta say, I'm not really a fan of Ibanez basses, I prefer necks on the thicker side, and I have no real interest in anything with more than 5 strings, but I did once plan an SR506 in a store, and damn if it didn't play itself. I almost bought it, I was very impressed.
