Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The SR600E-AST is a seriously capable bass that punches well above its class. The Nordstrand pickups give it a modern growl, while the ash body and Jatoba neck keep things warm and comfortable. This is a great choice for gigging musicians needing a versatile, well-built instrument with a strong voice.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Big Break pickups have a noticeably more aggressive and defined sound, offering more punch and clarity, particularly in the lower frequencies.
The neck has a comfortable 'C' shape, but the 38mm nut width and longer scale might feel a little wider than some smaller-handed players are used to.
It's versatile, but really shines in rock, funk, and modern styles where you want a defined, articulate low-end – it’s not ideal for super-clean, upright-bass emulations.
