NBD Ibanez SRF700

Recommended Posts

Been after one of these for ages, but every time one came up, I was either skint or needed something more urgently. But now, thanks to GuitarGuitar, I finally have one, and I must say, it has all the tones I had in my head.

 

It's very easy to dial in Messiers Giblin, Thompson, Pino type sounds, and just as easy to make it sound like a "normal" bass.

Obviously, the two magnetic pickup volumes and their active bass and treble eq,  the Piezo volume and tone, make it a very, versatile bass with Mwah to die for.

 

Construction is nice. All round and smooth, though because of the extended cutaway and finger
(arm length, more like) board, I was playing one position up at first :scratch_one-s_head:

The only thing is now I'll probably get rid of my Ibby SRH500F even though it sounds more double bass-like, as We are now operating a "One in, One out" policy. So I've been told :whoopass:

Very nice. I'm glad that you're liking it. I'm looking for an SRF700 myself, possibly with a swap for an Epiphone Jack Casady I'm trying to sell! Prices seem to have gone up a lot recently! GuitarGuitar price ATM nearly £1K! Did you get a deal or is that how much they are now? I'm also interested to hear that your SRH500F sounds more upright bass like. That's hard to find and very useful for jazz situations.

Try DV24. I asked GG to match their quote, which they did.

 

I'd love to keep the SRH500F, but I have too many basses, and I'm not gigging now.

Hence Mrs 2pods new rule (I think I'll count her shoes later, "Imelda !" :angry2:)
