    Ibanez SR506 wire under bridge

    I've been sanding, cleaning my Ibanez and lacquered it to perfection, then I dropped it on the ground and had to start again... :( There was a thin wire under the bridge and I must have ripped it out or broke it. Is this wire necessary? I'm guessing it's to ground the guitar, and should I just...

    NBD: Ibanez SR756NTF

    About a month ago, I had been wondering what it would be like if I could combine the string count and versatility of my SR506 with the tone stack and electronics of my SR750. I then discovered the existence of a bass that combined these two features, but it was discontinued and I figured I'd...

    Ibanez SR506 Pickup Suggestions?

    I just bought an Ibanez SR506 for under $100. I got it cheap because the pickups "went bad." The pickups in it look like they're the original Ibanez ones, but when I took the cavity plate off, none of the wiring was connected to the pots at all. There was part of an Aguilar OBP-1 in there, but I...

    Hello, I am new to this site & this is my first post. I'm having some issues with my Ibanez SR506 (six string) bass guitar.

    Ibanez OBP-3 preamp replacement

    So I ordered the OBP-3 preamp for my Ibanez SR506 to do a swap. I was excited! But after I ordered the preamp, I realized that it only came with the EQ control pots - and the volume/blend pots I had weren't the correct spec. So I ordered a new volume pot and blend pot, finding the push-pull...

    Ibanez SR506: bought a Mono M80, should I switch to Vertigo?

    Title pretty much says it all, but I own a six-string bass (Ibanez SR506, 1994) and I was getting tired of lugging my SKB flight case around to practice. I splurged on a Mono M80 bass gig bag, but I can't help feeling a little unimpressed - the SR has a small body and I feel as though the bag is...

    Ibanez SR50X tuner weight

    My SR506 has some neck dive so I'm considering replacing the tuning machines with some Hipshot Ultralite. Any idea whether the stock Ibanez tuners are significantly heavier than the Ultralights? By "significantly" I mean shaving at least 1/2 a pound off the weight.
