Ibanez SR3506 6-String Bass – Black (Prestige Series)
A Flagship 6-String with Boutique Precision and Japanese Craftsmanship
The Ibanez SR3506 takes everything that makes the Prestige line exceptional – elite build quality, flawless feel and expressive tonal control – and brings it to a 6-string platform. Designed for professional bassists who require extended range, advanced ergonomics and immaculate clarity, this top-of-the-line Soundgear model offers unrivalled performance in both studio and live environments. Its refined Black finish completes the look of a world-class instrument built for serious musicians.
S-TECH Roasted Maple Neck with Prestige-Level Fretwork
An Atlas-6 HP 5-piece S-TECH Roasted Maple/Walnut neck lies at the heart of the SR3506. The S-TECH treatment greatly enhances stability, water resistance, durability and tonal consistency, making the neck exceptionally reliable under variable conditions. A smooth Rosewood fretboard provides warmth, focused mids and a rounded tonal character – perfect for expressive chord work, tapping, soloing and extended-range performance. Medium frets, finished with the Prestige fret edge treatment, deliver a silky, friction-free feel across all 24 frets.
Alder Body with Powerful Nordstrand Big Singles
The Alder body adds brightness, balance and strong sustain, making it an ideal tonal foundation for a 6-string bass. Nordstrand Big Single pickups, housed in elegant wood covers, produce a full-bodied, aggressive single-coil voice with rich harmonic detail and excellent note separation – critical for extended-range clarity. From tight low-B articulation to shimmering upper-register melodies, the SR3506 speaks with precision and authority.
Sonitech 3-Band EQ with Hexa Mid Frequency System
The Japanese-made Ibanez Sonitech Preamp offers exceptional tonal flexibility, featuring two selectable 3-band mid-frequency banks and a 3-way Hexa Mid switch, providing six total mid-frequency choices. This allows deep sculpting for any genre – from metal to jazz fusion – ensuring your tone sits perfectly in the mix. The EQ bypass (push/pull) and passive tone control give you instant access to organic, uncoloured tones.
