Ibanez actually produced a fretted version of this model years ago, but true to Ibanez's style, it was discontinued shortly after (Ibanez SR30TH4). They made it so short-lived and obscure that it seems like they wanted people to forget about it-and they succeeded 😅
I liked the fretted model. The combination of semi hollow and nordstrand big single pickups gave it such an aggressive tone. Perfect for rock and metal.
Thank you for the demo. I was looking at this with the nordstrand pickups and wanted to know if the tone would be noticeably different from the SRF700/705. Maybe you can play with it more, but this tone isn’t far enough removed to justify the $1300 5 string version. A lot of other “demos” do too much to mask what it sounds like in a room
Nice nice (nice?). I made the mistake of getting a 6 string for my first fretless... 😂 To me there is no "perfect sound" but this nez sounds quite versatile.
@@BsMusicShopMI I'm currently divided in buying the last new SRF706 I see online.. or waiting for a potential SRD906F. Hopefully Ibanez reads these comments!
@@Megatronpt I looked it up, the SRF700 and the 5 came out in 2014, and the SRF706 came out in 2017! So you may have to wait awhile if it does come... I had a SRF705 back then and it was awesome. Good luck!
suprizin' fretless isný the standard for bass, slides sound silky and the buzz isn't there whens you come up short on a strech its cooler than my SGB fir shir.

Wild.
I like that they don’t stay stagnant but this could have stuck around a little longer. The fretless was great!

I was just given one of these. And oh my is it ever nice. Never had a fretless but this one is beautiful.
For looks I find it a bit awkward, but nothing terrible. If I get it I might consider recutting the holes into some other shape
Whats the story behind getting given one of these 😂 must have wealthy mates
@@wade4846 Yup!
@@wade4846 actually I tell a lie. He is just a point in his life where he is able to buy what he wants. Then he plays it for a while and moves on.
I was at B’s about a month ago and played one of those, sounded great but it was above my $40 dollar budget
Only a little!

The Sr is a great serie from Ibanez
30 "fret" range! So I can play "Jerry was a Racecar Driver" 😊
I just hope for a 6 string version of this one.
Ehhhh. Doubtful. They usually move on to a new thing for the next year. It would have been cool tho!

@@Megatronpt The SRF706 took time to come out, it did not come out with the 4 and the 5, so I wouldn't give up hope
@@ghoulcaster You made my day! Really hope so!

Feeling hungry for pie-zo
You should probably take the plastic off the pick ups!
Doesn’t change the sound. Magnets don’t care.
I left it for the owner. It already sold to a happy home 😺

It’s always been one of my favorite. So smooth.
@@BsMusicShopMI if you do a review of the katana you should use this bass and do a mini dive on setting up a couple interesting rigs.
Sounds like every other active fretless.
It’s just that I make all fretlesses sound this good. 😂
Are you a giant? Or does that bass just have a really tiny body??
I am over six feet. You be the judge.
It’s a standard Soundgear size.
Uh, pretty sure it’s peeAzo, not Pie-zo 😅
hey man. I’m in the Midwest. I said what I said.
I don't like the sound ... it's not first class, and the guitar is expensive...It sounds poor and funny. "Portamento" is three times better
Thanks for watching!
Oh look, A feminist playing a bass.
You say that like it’s a bad thing. 😘🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
