THE PERFECT FRETLESS BASS? - Ibanez SRF706 Review

[@LucaVent0]

nice video! this bass looks and sounds amazing!

[@quijadriss7650]

I recently bought the 5 string version. I was going between this and a newer flasher Ibanez with the oval "sound holes". Having only played a handful of fretless basses in a few shops it was really hard to make a choice, but I really enjoy what I got. Now I'm looking at the Ibanez upright bass. Too many toys...

[@Slaminski]

That's true, there is too much gear and too less money :D I don't like those holes in the newer Ibanez, which made my decision a bit easier. The only big difference is the pickups - but those basses shine more with their Piezo system!

I own one, it is straight up yhr best instrument I've ever owned. Everytime I want to play bass, my hand goes for that

Had a sr505 years ago, love the sr basses, just wish they had wider string spacing and came in 35” scales, but I guess that’s what the BTB line is for

[@Slaminski]

I think the only way you get an SR with 35" is with their multiscale basses. Maybe check out the EHB models. You can adjust the string spacing by yourself and has a neck between SR & BTB.

I hunted this bass... couldn't find any in the EU that would ship to Ireland. Ended up getting the SRD905F.. but I did want the high C. Maybe will have to look for it again on the used market

[@Slaminski]

@@Megatronpt i think in the EU you only get the 4 & 5 string version of it. On the US website of Ibanez it's still available as 6 string. Try to get this bass!

[@Megatronpt]

@@Slaminski One shop in Slovakia had it.. 1300€ .. and wanted 150€ for transport. I play a BTB806MS frequently, but wanted a fretless.. ended up buying the SRD905F. Other option was a 3000€ Warwick :D

[@simonelussu8538]

If you are still looking for it I could arrange one for you

[@Megatronpt]

@@simonelussu8538 I have the SRD905F. I will hope and wait for a 6 string version.. or get a custom one built, if need arises.

[@erichouser7756]

This bass has been next on my wishlist for a while. All but one of my basses are fretless. Can't get enough of the versatility, verses the sloppy ease of fretted.

[@Slaminski]

This bass is just gorgeous! I have to check out the 4 & 5 string versions of it!

Hi Lukas! Danke für Dein Video! Habe heute diesen Bass gekommen. Ist wirklich ein Traumbass! Was ich nicht verstehe, wie man mit dem slappen kann, ist das überhaupt möglich? Dank und Gruß, Roman

[@Slaminski]

Moin Roman! Bitte sehr, immer gerne! Slappen ist zwar möglich klingt aber eher gewöhnungsbedürftig. Der Slap Sound entsteht ja durch das Berühren von Saiten und Bundstäbchen. Zudem kann das slappen auf einem Fretless das Griffbrett beschädigen, da die Saite(n) direkt darauf fallen.

[@lucaloeb7223]

One for the algo! What´s the B-string feel like?

[@Slaminski]

Thanks! The B-String is quite tight and plays nice. Maybe I would a bit lighter on the string gauge.
