Key Features
The Ibanez SR506A is a modern six-string bass designed for players who want extended range without losing the fast, comfortable feel the SR series is known for. Built to handle everything from complex chordal work and tapping to deep, supportive low-end playing, it offers a smooth, approachable playing experience that stays comfortable right across its wider fretboard. Despite its extended range, it retains the familiar balance, slim neck feel and lightweight character that have made SR basses a long-standing favourite.
A 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck improves stability and helps resist movement caused by temperature or humidity changes, while the rosewood fretboard provides a smooth feel with a focused midrange response. The okoume body keeps the instrument lightweight and balanced, even with six strings. Bartolini BH2 pickups are paired with a versatile 3-band EQ, delivering controlled lows, clear mids and articulate highs. Finished in Mahogany Brown Burst Low Gloss, the SR506A is a dependable six-string bass built for modern performance.

The SR506A brings six-string versatility into the comfortable, player-friendly SR design. Its slim neck profile and compact body help reduce the intimidation factor often associated with extended-range basses, making it easier to transition from four or five strings. The balanced construction keeps the instrument stable on a strap and comfortable when seated, supporting long rehearsals, studio sessions and live performances without unnecessary strain.
The 5-piece roasted maple and walnut neck is heat treated to improve durability, strength and resistance to environmental changes. This helps the neck remain consistent over time, even with regular gigging or travel. Medium frets provide a familiar, controlled playing feel that supports accurate intonation across all six strings. The rosewood fretboard adds warmth and focus, helping notes stay clear and defined throughout the full range.
Bartolini BH2 pickups deliver a tight low end, punchy midrange and smooth overall response, ensuring the low B and high C remain equally usable and balanced. Their dual-coil design provides even output across the fretboard, keeping complex lines articulate. The custom 3-band EQ offers straightforward tone shaping, while the 3-way mid frequency switch lets you fine-tune your sound to suit different musical contexts.
The MR5S bridge features adjustable saddles, allowing you to tailor string spacing to match your technique. An EQ bypass switch provides instant access to a passive-style signal, with the treble control acting as a global tone control when bypassed. Combined with reliable hardware and a durable low gloss finish, the SR506A is a no-nonsense six-string bass designed for regular rehearsals, recording and gigging.
