The SR606E brings 6-string capability to the SR Standard platform with the kind of build quality and electronics that working bassists demand. The okoume body keeps weight manageable, and the 5-piece jatoba/walnut neck is slim enough that the wider 6-string fretboard feels natural rather than intimidating. If you've played other 6-string basses and found them unwieldy, the SR neck will change your mind.

Bartolini BH2 pickups paired with the Ibanez EQB-IIIS 3-band active preamp deliver refined, articulate tone with excellent dynamic response. The Cosmic Blue Starburst Flat finish has a deep, dimensional look that pairs beautifully with the natural wood tones of the neck. Twenty-four frets, Accu-cast B500 bridge, and Gotoh tuners round out a professional spec sheet at a fair price.
