""Hey! Check the Ibanez SR506 Bass out, you might like it.""

Feature:
An instrument cord/cable and allen wrenches were included. The appearance of the bass and its sound definitely caught the attention of sveral guys on our band. Other members of our band that play bass were impressed with the sound and appearance.

Quality:
I originally got it for a back up. Last night during a video shoot I did not use my Tobias which was my favorite. It's a matter of opinion, but I like the bass and everything about it; appearance and sound. I have read reviews where some musicians have very negative comments about it. Some people like strawberry ice cream while others may prefer sherbert. Try one before you buy it and if you don't like it save your money and stop being so negative.

Value:
I don't think you would find another bass at this price with all that the SR506 has to offer.

Desirability:
It is sleek and easy to handle. The neck is very fast and comfortable while it is very light in weight. No shoulder strain after shooting video material for 3 hours. Lightweight is a plus. I read in a review about a person complaining that it was too heavy. I wonder how they came to that conclusion.

Sound:
The sound is amazingly warmth, rich, and stands out. The Bartolini neck and bridge pick ups and EQ are on the money! I can get any sound/tone that I want. I play it with and without my Aguilar 18 volt outboard preamp. Either way is pleasing. I just played it live during a video shoot and the results are nonwithstanding.

Ease of Use:
I can dial in all my favorite tones within seconds. It works for me in the different R & B, Jazz, and Funk settings that I have been playing for years. I don't have to change basses even though I always carry a spare. There were times when I carried as many as three basses with me to a gig. Each had a specific purpose and sound that I needed. The SR506 allows me to just adjust on the spot.

Support:
No problems yet!

Overall:
I don't plan on replacing it! If I was to replace it the next axe would have to be able to do chores around the house.

"Find one and play it then you'll be writing one of these reviews just like i did!"

Feature:
If you know anything about Bartolini you know that this bass has to sound good!

Quality:
The finish is dull but unique in that the sound is great and most bass players look for good sound because that is what counts.

Value:
Why spend $2000.00 to $5000.00 when you can find $625.00 from somewhere to get you a good bass with all the features of a high end bass without a glossy finish. It's the wood that gives the sound anyway and not the finish.

Desirability:
When you should be cuddling your wife at night, you can let the SR506 have a pillow also.

Sound:
Totally Awesome!!!

Ease of Use:
Go immediately to a music store or Ibanez dealer, play one and see for yourself what you can get for $629.00 instead of $2000 to $3000.

Support:
Great Service! I was told it would arrive at my house by Dec. 5, instead it arrived December 4, 2006!

Overall:
I know friends that spend big money for Ken Smith Basses, which by the way are good basses, that could save some major money by spending $629.00 for one of these and be just as satisfied.

"GET THIS, IF YOU DONT I HATE YOU!!"

Feature:
alot of knobs turn them all up and just mess with your amp its nice to have EQ.

Quality:
the wood is so nice on this i was very suprised the quality out of ibanez this time around u will all be suprised.

Value:
very good price for this should be maybe only 600 but i dont care its amazing.

Desirability:
ALOT I WANT IT ALOT this inlays rule!

Sound:
im planning on getting this bass. i never thought i would want an ibanez i hate them haha but for some reason this appealed to me an awesome sound should go nice with my ampeg svt410hlf and 3 pro head i also own a 75 rickenbacker 4001 and 62 jazz bass and alot of other stuff geez in only 16 haha well anyway i highly recommend this its amazing!

Ease of Use:
Its very easy it get great sounds out of this. prob have to get use to the neck and so on u dont need a 5 string 6 strings are better.

Support:
im just gonna say 10 because i generally dont like to ask for help and stuff i just figure it out myself but if i would need help they would have helped me.

Overall:
yes 10 babies i love it!

Feature:
The pickups are sweet, combined with an amazing EQ that actually works. Also, the bass is very light.

Quality:
Everything about this is beast

Value:
This bass is definately worth the same of most $1000-2000 basses, which don't even compare to it.

Desirability:
6 strings = sweet

Sound:
This bass is perfect for any sound, but I am especially happy with the way I can get John Myung's tone so easily

Support:
I love Ibanez

Feature:
I wish it was a neck thru and came in various woods.

Quality:
Great quality

Value:
Awesome price

Sound:
The sound is so diverse it can sound like a Ken smith and also a fender p bass when you use the tone sloping knob. You can't beat those bartolini pickups. Great 6 string sound for the money.

Support:
Not even necessary to contact them
