I'm new to the audiophile world and I have a pair of grado sr60i headphones, but I find that they  dont have enough bass for my  liking. So I'm wondering if this could improve the bass on my headphones because I dont want to resort to spending 150 dollars on new headphones if I dont need to.

It should, especially if you utilize the E6's E.Q. options.

Which ear pads are you using? I found the L-cush to provide the best lower bass frequencies. The flats for me had like zero bass. And the G-cush also lost a lot of bass. The L-cush had it though.
 
Very best,

These pads will instantly give you way better sound than the stock pads that come with SR60i. Way better bass.
 

 

 
The flats that come with the SR60i are a crime against audio. They let the sound just go all over the place, has no bass, sounds like a mess. But the L-cush pads, they're small bowls, little amphitheaters, it'll sound like a whole new headphone. For the better. Unfortunately the bigger G-cush pads don't provide the same increase (at least in my opinion), but the L-cush are mandatory as far as I'm concerned for any prestige based Grado.
 
Very best,

So will  these provide more bass then the e6

An amplifier doesn't necessarily add more bass, it really depends on the amp. The FiiO E11 for example has bass boost which would be perfect for your situation, I'm not sure if there is this function on the E6 though.

E6 does in fact have bass boost

Then yes, the E6 will emphasize the bass and would work for your (thread starter's) situation.

Probably not or rather not as much a hardware EQ, but pair that with the E6 and you improved your listening experienced quite a bit.

So I will probably buy the e6 and then I will get new pads
