Ibanez SRC6MSBLL SR Series Multiscale 6-String Bass in Black Strained Burst Low Gloss

5pc Jatoba/Walnut Neck
The 5pc Jatoba/Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack.

Multiscale
The multi scale construction equalizes tension of each string and it helps to create a more "alive", open tone. But the design also improves player comfort. The multi scale construction ergonomically coordinates with the way a player's hand angles as it moves up and down the neck, facilitating quick, comfortable playing action.

Rosewood Fretboard
Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

Okoume Body
The Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound.

Bartolini® BH2 pickups
The Bartolini® BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response.

Mono-rail bridge
Designed for both stability and sustain, the innovative Ibanez Mono-Rail bridge minimizes cross-talk between strings

Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/ EQ bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot) & 3-way Mid frequency switch
The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is our latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones.
The EQ bypass control offers precision tonal adjustments, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.
The 3-way Mid frequency switch allow players to change the mid-tone between 250, 450, and 700 Hz.

Controls
With the bass held in the playing position, there are three small knobs along the lower edge of the body. From the lower bout towards the neck they are; Piezo tone knob, magnetic pickup treble knob, and magnetic pickup bass knob. There are three knobs, above the smaller knobs, that are closer to the bridge. From the lower bout towards the neck they are; piezo volume knob, magnetic pickup balance knob and magnetic pickup volume knob. There is a 3-way pickup selector switch very close to the end of the body, near the input jack. When the switch is in neck position, the piezo pickup is selected. When the switch is in center position, both piezo and magnetic pickups are selected. When the switch is in bridge position, magnetic pickup is selected. You can adjust piezo gain for the 5th, 6th, and 7th string with the trim pots located at the back panel. To boost the gain, turn the trim pots clock wise with a Philips head screwdriver. To cut the gain, turn the trim pot counter clockwise. The trim pots are lined up in order of the strings.

Frequency Response
The bass boost/cut frequency curve has a peak at 20 Hz and a variable width that decreases toward the high range, and a curve that the variable width becomes zero at approximately 1000 Hz. The variable range becomes slightly larger in the high range than around 1000 Hz, but it becomes zero again near 5000 Hz. The variable range of the peak frequency is approximately ±15 dB. The treble boost/cut frequency curve creates a bell-shaped curve with a peak around 10000 Hz and zero variable range around 100 Hz. The variable range of the peak frequency is approximately ±15 dB.
