The Ibanez Bass Workshop SRC6MS is built from an exciting blend of tonewoods. An okoume body delivers a light, bright tone with an articulate high end and tight low end. A 5-piece jatoba/walnut neck makes a fine tonal complement while supplying excellent comfort and stability. The SRC6MS's multi-scale rosewood fingerboard offers optimal tension and playability. Experience superior intonation and vibration transference, thanks to a Mono-Rail bridge. A duo of Bartolini BH2 dual-coil pickups yields incredible depth and clarity, a 3-band EQ allows for further sonic sculpting, and a 3-way midrange switch rounds out the SRC6MS's controls. To top it all off, the Bass Workshop SRC6MS features black hardware for a sleek, eye-catching look.

Better comfort, tension, and tone





Multi-scale frets are an exciting new trend in high-end bass guitar design. They yield a longer scale on the bass side of the instrument and a shorter scale on the treble side, offering you better intonation and more consistent tension and attack from string to string. And while getting used to them may look like it will be quite an undertaking, Sweetwater bassists insist that it's a very natural transition. And the better intonation, consistent string tension, and more open tone far outweigh any difference from other basses.

Bartolini BH2 pickups deliver full and balanced tone





Bartolini BH2 pickups maintain a superb balance between the Bass Workshop SRC6MS's clarity and depth. They provide complexity and warmth in the mids and low-end depth that won't wash out. Long-blade pole pieces allow these dual-coil pickups to offer hum-free single-coil-style character and consistency. When you want to sculpt your SRC6MS's tone, just reach for the 3-band EQ. This active equalizer delivers wide frequency-range adjustments on each band. There's also a balance control to dial in just the right amount of each pickup. Whether you want round R&B throb or responsive thumb-technique punch, the SRC6MS delivers.





Mono-Rail bridge for ultimate string isolation





The Mono-Rail bridge installed on the Bass Workshop SRC6MS solves the issue of too much string cross-talk some other basses struggle with. When you play a string, sympathetic vibrations can set the other strings into motion. But by separating the bridge into independent "mini bridges," the Mono-Rail maximizes vibration transfer without interference from the other strings. Ibanez goes so far as to call the Mono-Rail, "the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation." Each bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference.
