All user reviews of 3/5 for the Ibanez SR506

This is a 24Cases equipped with Micro "Bartolini", and electronics "EQBIIIs" preamp may be coming from "Bartolini". This is a test.
1 Volume, 1 Balance, Grave 1, 1 Aquamarine, 1 medium and 1 Switch which I regard as a kind of boost. To try to be more precise, the adjustment knobs, balance, bass, mid, whether acute regardless of the position switch. on the other hand, there's more punch in a position in the other.

UTILIZATION

As always with Ibanez the neck is particularly fine for 6 Strings. It is 'Slapable', but it is a delicate practice with low gauge strings. The handle is nice earlier, whatever an adjustment by a luthier allow myself to be more objective. Is entitled to have two rods settings for the handle. Access to acute earlier is good, all fields are playable. But not "Ultra Flat" in comparison to my "Yamaha TRB6p2". That said for the price, the strings have a suitable height.

Difficult to obtain a correct sound.

SOUNDS

For me the sound is not terrible. Too much sustain, its not versatile at all compared to my 800 SDGR. I recognize the claw "Bartolini" which clearly does not suit me. The grave is filled with medium and lacks fullness. Acute when the are has them, Hyper crystalline. I would even say sour, and no relief. Yet it is of Barto. Understand that many bassist, research can be kind of sound. I imagine that his hyper punchy goes well with a tube amp. (Amp that attack gum sound). His brief for me is EXTREMELY zero. I intend to try to build a system equivalent to that of my SDGR 800. In short it's just a matter of taste. Too bad Ibanez thinks only rockers. It is not at all versatile.

THIS IS AT ME! many have confrere kiffer sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I play on the amp "Transistor". Never a "LAMP". I am using Multi-ZOOM effect, if I should play a "Chicago Blues" in the pure spirit and drive. The ZOOM simulates perfectly and the sound choice for LAMP LP1, LP2 or LP3. (Who can do more can do less, Advisory amateur lamp, the reverse is mathematically IMPOSSIBLE).

I have tried a lot of model before making this purchase I have no regrets. Whatever it is I wanted the 706, but unfortunately not available in Europe.

What I like most is the look, wood, ergonomics. In short I am very pleased with the series of Ibanez SR SDGR alias. I miss the sound of the SR 800. I say it enough.
on the other hand I hate the sound of plain medium and sustain. The disappearance of the MID varies EQBIIs on EMG. Value for money, and for the lack of choice, I do it again the same choice without hesitation.
