TorVic Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) I recently acquired a ACG Recurve 6 here on BC and hence am letting go of this - my first 6-string bass. I bought it new in 2007 from Guitar Center, San Jose. It was professionally set up in the shop and it still retains the same action! Perfectly straight neck, low action and very clean in recordings (the only time there is any noise is if you max the Treble on the EQ but I've seen that happen in most basses). (I recorded these songs with this bass: [url="http://soundcloud.com/victorvic/redemption-song"]http://soundcloud.co...redemption-song[/url] [url="http://soundcloud.com/victorvic/blackbird"]http://soundcloud.co...orvic/blackbird[/url]) The string spacing at the bridge is 16.5mm. The neck is quite thin and with this string spacing, this is probably the easiest 6-string that you could ever play. I am a 4-string bass player and I bought this to check the whole 6-string scene. It couldn't have been easier. In fact, I bought another 6-string with wider string spacing and couldn't adjust to it. The bass has been gigged only about 3 times but is in pristine condition. I baby all my basses and this is no exception. I can't spot any dings anywhere on the bass. The only cosmetic change is that the chrome on the bridge is fading naturally. I don't know if this can be fixed by some polish or treatment. [u]Attention[/u]: The current version of this bass has a Mid-frequency selector switch - *This is the older version that does NOT have this switch*. I think the rest of spec is the same as given on the Ibanez website: [url="http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-SR506"]http://www.ibanez.co...ars/model-SR506[/url] Neck Material: 5pc Jatoba/ Bubinga Neck Type: SR6 Body: Mahogany body Frets: Medium frets Fingerboard: Rosewood Inlay: Abalone oval inlay Bridge: B106 bridge NeckPU: Bartolini® MK1-6-F BridgePU: Bartolini® MK1-6-R EQ: EQB-IIIS HW Color: Cosmo Black Finishes: BM Now for the pictures (also available at [url="https://plus.google.com/photos/100212465725187526301/albums/5683876888818678561?authkey=CNKn7OnBm6f2xwE"]https://plus.google....CNKn7OnBm6f2xwE[/url]): [attachment=94884:2011-10-30 Basses 109.JPG] [attachment=94885:2011-10-30 Basses 111.JPG] [attachment=94887:2011-10-30 Basses 114.JPG] [attachment=94891:2011-10-30 Basses 124.JPG] [attachment=94892:2011-10-30 Basses 125.JPG] [attachment=94890:2011-10-30 Basses 118.JPG] (More pictures will be added in later posts on this thread.)
