Elaborate construction and high playability
In designing the Ibanez SRF705-BBF Fretless Brown Burst Flat, Ibanez paid particular attention to creating a singing sound that harmoniously integrates the low B-string. Accordingly, this five-string features okoume body wings and a neck-thru five-piece maple walnut neck with a fretless panga-panga fretboard, which in combination with the factory wound D'Addario Flatwound strings produces the typical purring fretless sound. Fretlines on the flank of the fretboard facilitate clean intonation, whereas the slim "SRF5" neck profile promises comfortable playability.
With two Bartolini MK-1 humbuckers and the Ibanez AeroSilk piezo pickup system, the Ibanez Bass Workshop SRF705-BBF delivers versatile sounds with the typical fretless character.
