madshadows Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The new range of Ibanez SRH basses look really cool, anyone played one yet?, thoughts on them?

Rich Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Really liked the look of the SRH505 until I saw this in the specs... "16.5mm string spacing" Ugh. Far too cramped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhand_mike Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 most of ibanez's 5 string basses are 16.5mm, takes a little getting used to from the 4 string 19mm but no too difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I should know better than to click on links like that ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Some lovely looking basses on that link... As above though, 16.5 is way too tight for my agricultural technique Edited May 30, 2017 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Adams Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Im sure I looked at the 500 in Andertons earlier this year, and despite the F hole, thought it was heavier than I expected it to be. I do worry about the finish on the brown basses, looks like ot would wear away with little provocation. Perhaps I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Such a shame there's no unlined fretless options on the piezo/f-hole ones. I'd be really interested otherwise. P Edited May 30, 2017 by philw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbyrne Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I like the look of that SRF705 though...... G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 If I didn't already have a Rob Allen, I'd be very interested in one of those. Ibanez have come out with another desirable design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I so want one of those Sras7 things. But I can't play more than 4 strings and I can't play fretless but I'm sure I could work it somehow. Those srh basses look pretty cool. Although I've seen on some pics they look a bit chunky in the body. Obviously I know there a hollow body so they need to be.

Zummerbass Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I tried the SRH500F and the SRF700 quite recently. Very impressed with the latter,initially daunting,but once I got past that-wow! Huge range of tones,very playable. SRH500F- to me,visually a bit dull looking.As noted,heavier than it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
