Full Description
A wide range of tonal possibilities
A unique feature of this bass is its AeroSilk piezo system, featuring a custom bridge and a piezo pickup for a truly acoustic sound. This system provides the SRF705 with an airy characteristic of an upright bass. Alongside this system is a volume and tone control for excellent sound shaping and balance.
Paired with this system is a set of Bartolini MK-1 pickups, featuring a split coil design for a wide frequency range, excellent definition, and superb accuracy. Both of these deliver an incredible response, much like a traditional single coil but without any unwanted hum and noise. Wanting to shape your sound further? Use the 2-band EQ to mould every nuance of your tone, for a plethora of possibilities.
Comfortable and efficient design
This model has been sculpted with a lightweight mahogany, elegant contours, and a smooth design, all in which combine to create an incredibly comfortable instrument. On top of this, this incredible tonewood delivers sweet and warm tonal characteristics. This Ibanez also features a smooth cutaway profile, allowing easier access to the higher frets. Thanks to this, you can perform with an excellent flexibility across the entire fingerboard.
Effortless playability
The SRF705’s neck has been sculpted from a combination of maple and walnut, creating an incredibly bright and smooth tone, packed with an excellent sustain and stability. When these stunning tonewoods are paired, you are provided with a range of stunning tonal qualities and sonic enhancements, as well as an amazing aesthetic.
On top of this sits a panga panga fingerboard, adding an excellent response with an added layer of brightness, whilst its bound edges allow for a smooth playability. This fingerboard is fretless, providing a unique tone that fretted versions can’t achieve. By removing the frets, each of the strings can vibrate more freely and interact directly with the panga panga. This setup also ensures your hand can glide effortlessly down the fingerboard. Whilst this design is mostly used for jazz and funk, this bass can work with a range of musical styles.
