Ibanez Bass Workshop SRMS806 Multi-Scale 6-String Electric Bass Deep Twilight

Description

To the newcomer, the multi-scale concept may appear a bit unusual, but the biggest surprise may be how comfortable players become within a minute or two of playing the instrument. The different fret-to-bridge distances enhance tonality, creating a better sounding bass. Previously, these instruments were only available from boutique bass builders, but now Ibanez is proud to introduce the Bass Workshop SRMS806 multi-scale bass at an affordable price.The goal of the multi-scale system is to give the better tension of each string. The tension helps to create a more “alive,” open tone. On the Bass Workshop SRMS806, the scale length is 33.6” on the G-string side, expanding to 35.5 at the low B. Although the multi-scale neck can appear intimidating and unnatural, nothing could be further from the truth. When looking down at the neck from the players perspective, the exaggerated fret layout seems to almost disappear and actually feels quite normal. The slant of the multi-scales ergonomically coordinate with the way a players hand angles as it moves up and down the neck, facilitating quick, comfortable playing action.The SRMS806 is a quality instrument designed for the experienced, seasoned musician. Its poplar burl/ahogany body is attached to a 5-piece jatoba/walnut SRMS6 neck with a panga panga fretboard, medium frets and custom multi-scale inlays. The Mono-Rail VS Bridge is the perfect match for a fan-fret instrument, allowing for independent positioning of each strings “mini-bridge” section to providing excellent intonation and superior string vibration transference. Electronics include Bartolini BH1-6 pickups, for a full range warm punchy tone, and a 3-band EQ w/ Bypass switch and Mid-Frequency switch for complete sonic control.FeaturesPoplar burl/mahogany body5-piece jatoba/walnut neck, panga panga fretboard, medium frets and custom fanned inlaysBartolini BH2 dual-coil pickups, 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch, and 3-way mid-frequency switchBlack matte hardware, Mono-Rail VS BridgeSpecsNeckNeck: Multi Scale 5-piece Jatoba/Bubinga neckWood:MapleNeck joint:Neck-throughScale length:35.5 – 33.6″Truss rod:Info not availableFinish: Low GlossPickupsActive or passive pickups:PassivePickup configuration:SSNeck: BH1Middle: Bridge: BH1Brand:BartoliniSeries or parallel:ParallelActive preamp:Custom IbanezSpecial electronics:3-band EQFretboardMaterial: RosewoodRadius: 400mmFret size:Medium Stainless SteelNumber of frets:24Inlays: Nut material:Info not availableNut width: 54mmBodyCutaway:Double cutawayConstruction:SolidbodyBody wood:AshTop wood: Body finish: Low Gloss Orientation:Right handedControlsControl layout: Pickup switch:NoCoil tap or split:NoTone switching:NoSpecial switching:Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot) & Mid-frequency switchHardwareBridge type:FixedBridge design:Mono-rail VTailpiece:Not applicableTuning machines: Gotoh Color:BlackOtherNumber of strings: 6Pickguard: Special features:Not applicableCase: Sold separatelyAccessories:NoneCountry of origin:JapanWarranty Warranty terms vary.
