Ibanez Launches SR600E Series Basses
Ibanez has expanded their SR line of basses with the SR600E Series, which includes four-string, five-string, and six-string versions. The new models are crafted with an ash body, jatoba and walnut neck, and a rosewood fingerboard.
“The Ash delivers an enveloping and powerful tonal foundation, while the neck woods and Rosewood fingerboard provided added tonal focus and note definition,” Ibanez explains. “Other familiar features include the B500 series bridge and the Ibanez Custom 3-Band EQ.”
They add that a new and defining feature for the basses is their unique pickups. The Nordstrand Big Break pickups are an offset, split coil design inside a soapbar style housing. This offers single coil tone with noiseless performance performance, they write. “They deliver a versatile, hybrid sound that will be right at home in a variety of situations. These pickups are also an exclusive offering on Ibanez basses.”

Ibanez is killing it.In appearance alone they’re outstanding.I recently bought my first Ibanez a SRH 500F and as an owner of twenty basses I’m totally impressed. If I were in the market for a bass in any range they’d be at the top of my list for consideration.
