What is this?

I’m rocking a SR406 right now. That is a beaut tho. I like that active bands on the 4 series vs the 5. They all sound good tho.
It might as well had been a tp holder except that maybe would be more practical. Lol so I'm curious about how you like the preamp on the 406. Are they different from the 500-506? As far as I know my 505 has a proprietary Ibanez EQ. What do they use in the 406? I've heard of EMG, bartolini, and Nordstrand preamps in SR basses so I know they can vary.

Wait!
We want to chat about the crazy appendage, and you want to chat about the actual bass?...... JK :smug:
 
I’m rocking the IBZ DX6N that came stock with it. 24 yrs later and they are holding up quite well. You can barely see the name anymore.
It has a warm fuzz to it IMO. The 506 is where they went with the Bartolini pickups. Contrast with a sharper sound IMO. Both good but a bartolini doesn’t legato a note the way I want it to personally. Both are great electronics tho.

It looks silly

But I don't wanna judge, it may have had some deep meaning to whoever owned it. I had stupid stuff like hair ties, cute girly bows on my bass and stuff, and if I left it on I'm sure someone would make a post saying dafuq was I thinking when messing with my bass.

Maybe a funny gimmick a bottle opener for whoever played it in some punk band.

Just like a car, if ya own, you can do what you want with it sticker wise.
