Ibanez bass guitar SRC6MS-BLL

5

The Ibanez SRC6MS-BLL is a 6-string multiscale Bass VI-style instrument from Ibanez's Bass Workshop series. It bridges the gap between a standard bass and a baritone guitar, making it ideal for guitarists who want extended low range or bassists looking for chordal and melodic playing.

Key Specifications

Highlights

• Multiscale (fanned frets) improves string tension and intonation across all six strings.
• Familiar guitar tuning makes it easy for guitarists to transition.
• Active 3-band EQ with passive bypass offers a wide tonal range.
• Bartolini BH2 pickups deliver a tight, articulate low end suitable for modern rock, metal, fusion, and ambient music.

Best For

• Guitarists wanting bass range without relearning fingerings.
• Bassists interested in solo, chordal, or cinematic playing.
• Progressive rock, metal, djent, post-rock, and soundtrack work.

Things to Consider

• It is not a traditional 34-inch bass; its feel is closer to a Bass VI/baritone instrument.
• The narrower string spacing is comfortable for guitar players but may feel tight if you're used to standard basses.
• Community feedback generally describes it as excelling in its hybrid role rather than replacing a conventional bass for every application.
