Sellin My Six String Ibanez Sr 506

[Dr. Jabsco]

Before i describe it ill lay down my price range. Im lookin to get about 450 for this motha. But if you're really taken with the bass, and if you can point out some reasons why I ought to drop the price a bit then id be happy to work with you.

I dont know if im allowed to put manufactures websites up, but ill give it a try. This is a link to the exact same model on the Ibanez website, it gives specs and **** if you dont believe the stuff ive typed below. http://www.ibanez.com/guitars/guitar.asp?model=SR506

ps, the finish on the one I have is alot lighter, and you can see more grain. so dont let that pic throw you off.

but uh, im sellin this six string bass so I can raise some funds and support my drug/gambling/hooker addictions. Its a great bass, its about the same kind that the bassist from Korn uses (but this one has 6 strings, his only has 5). Its b-e-a-d-g-c. Its got 2 Bartolini (top of the line pickups) Soap Bar pickups, and an AMAZING preamp (active, of course). Knobs are- 1 midstop pickup blender/selecter, 1 master volume, 1 mid control, 1 tone control, 1 bass control. Its amazing the variety of sounds you get out of this puppy. The input jack is a front indented style, much like on a stratocaster, but theres no metal jack plate.

Its body is solid mahagony with a bolt on neck made of a 5 strips of quarter sawn wenge-bubinga-wenge-bubinga-wenge lamanated together. Looks GREAT! and the fretboard is standard Rosewood. The headstock veneer is a curly figured walnut from the looks of it. The body is finished in some specialized Oil finish, so it really brings out the natural beauty of the woods and theres no Lauquer on it to mess up the tone. You can feel the grains on this bass more than about any ive played. Deffinatly the sweetest bass ive ever owned. This 6 string actually weighs less than my 4 string ibanez, so there arnt any problems with standing up with it for long periods.

Its in fairly good condition. The only problems are cosmetic- because its an oil finish, it picks up scratches alot easier. But theres nothin you can really do to avoid that. Its got very light beltbuckle rash on the back, a small scratch on the lower horn, and some scratchs up under the C string where my finger nails caught whilst i was slapping the **** out of it. and I have PLENTY of pictures of each and every scratch, and Ill email um or whatever.

Now, I dont get on this site often anymore, so i dotn know how regularly i will check my PM inbox on this. But I check my email daily. Dylanhouse420@hotmail.com and my AIM is Rastah Stojah. So just contact me on one of them sources and we can get pictures sent and nice words exchanged.

and it comes in one of them spiffy Super padded industrial gig bags, i pics of that too.

P.S. One super benefit (due to the oil finish) is that when you wake up at 3 am in your boxers and feel like playing bass, you can just sit down with this bass and start playing. With all the other basses ive owned the laquer finish gets cold at night, and when you try to play its all cold up against your body, and you gotta put a shirt on or somthin. and thats no fun. So keep that in mind.

I have to say, I own one and it is the sweetest sounding and most amazing basses for the buck! This is my first sixer and I honestly cant think of much of a reason to hang on to my 5 stringers. Hope this helps anyone who is chewing their lip on this one.

Dude, why are you ditching this axe? Are you planning of tearing up your Brotherhood of Bassists card?

ahh, i know. I hate that I have to do it. Part of me is kind of glad no one is buying it (i also tried selling on talkbass.com), but all the other parts of me are going to be SOL when I dont have any rent money :-/

If I end up selling this one, ill probably buy another one later down the road when i have a sold job. So no worries, ill stay true to the brotherhood.
