Ibanez SRC6 is as confusing as it gets; it's a bass sporting a guitar's baritone scale length & tuned to the guitar's standard tuning. So there you go- who is this instrument really aimed at? The bassist who would eventually feel the SRC6 has too much guitar vibes to be really bassy? The guitarist who would eventually realize that the SRC6 is really a bass given guitar vibes by the players themselves?
One thing for sure, the SRC6 is there for the taking. If you wish to treat it purely as a bass, by all means, go ahead. It's a bass after all. Alternatively, if you think it's a guitar in disguise, we shall not pretend that there are no baritone guitars out there not matching the SRC6's specs. So ladies & gentleman, the SRC6 is an instrument ready for your interpretations. In both music & art, we shift boundaries & the SRC6 might be the one helping you do just that.
More importantly, I'm glad to have come across the SRC6 & I'm ready to explore its potentials. :-)
**PS: If you are interested, the SRC6 won't be around for long, so... Here's a promo clip by the manufacturer to get a better perspective of what the SRC6 is capable of doing:
