The SR is probably the bass model most people think of when someone says "Ibanez bass" and for around 35 years it has been the market-leading model among "small body" basses (basses with smaller, slimmer bodies). These are lightweight, easy-to-play basses that are extremely comfortable to wear and play, perfect for people who play a lot or play long sessions.
SR is available in versions from cheap entry-level basses to absolute worst basses and everything in between, whatever price range you want to be in, there is an SR base for you. They are also available in several different woods and pickup configurations.
The SR606E is the SR in the Ibanez standard series. The standard series are Ibanez "regular" models, instruments that are a little cheaper without compromising too much on quality compared to the worst models. Instrument for those who want everything that Ibanez stands for, playability, reliability, sound, look and feel, but have a slightly thinner wallet.
Instruments that, despite their low price, could easily be accompanied as main instruments on a tour without fuss, basses and guitars that work no matter what level you play at.
The pickups are Nordstrand Big Break, split coil design pickups with a very wide frequency range and a clear, clear character from the single coil but without hum and noise.
