[Lukasz Chyla]

General:

The SRF705-BBF, or SRportamento, is a 5-string fretless bass guitar that is a part of the Bass Workshop series by Ibanez. This series was created by Ibanez to meet the special demands of bass players. It includes exclusive instruments that are made of exotic wood types and are equipped with rare electronics and pickups. This SRF705-BBF has a thru-neck construction and its body has a beautiful Brown Burst Flat Sunburst finish.

 

Sound:

This fretless bass guitar has a neck that runs the whole length of the body and is made of three parts maple and two parts bubinga wood. It is fitted with a rosewood fretboard. These features come together to create a stable, comfortable neck that clearly contributes to the sound of this bass guitar. The mahogany body isn't just a feast for the eyes but for the ears as well. This great-looking wood with delicate wood grain provides a warm, tight sound with lots of sustain so you can let the tones of this fretless SRF705-BBF by Ibanez linger for quite some time. The sound is even further enhanced by the pickups and electronics.

Bartolini Pickups and Aerosilk Piezo

The Bartolini MK-1 pickups are humbuckers, which means that this bass guitar doesn't suffer from unwanted humming noise. By means of the two volume controls you can blend the sound of the neck pickup and bridge pickup and in combination with the two tone controls, you can create any kind of sound you like. On top of that, the SRF705-BBF is also equipped with a special bridge with built-in Aerosilk piezo system. The piezo pickups are also fitted with a volume control and active tone control and allow for an exceptionally wide range of sounds. If you combine the sounds of the pickups, you'll get a modern, tight sound with a great 'wooden' character.

I have the 4 string version. Amazing bass for the money.

Is that a massive dent in the pic, or a reflection?
