Powerful upright tones via piezo pickup system





Fretless bass players are always looking for unique and smooth tones. Ibanez's SRF700 fretless bass gives you new tonal options not typically found on basses in this price range. It starts off with a pair of Bartolini MK1 and an active 2-band preamp, but the SRF700 doesn't stop there. The Ibanez-exclusive AeroSilk Piezo pickup system gives you the killer upright bass tones that you've been looking for. Not just another piezo system, the AeroSilk system was custom built using plastic saddles at the bridge to enhance the "acoustic" bass tone. You can adjust each piezo pickup's volume for perfect string balance. Add this to the extended fingerboard and you have tones and notes usually reserved for upright bass players on your electric bass. The Ibanez SRF700 electric bass was designed for the fretless bass player who's looking for more.





Great tone from USA Bartolini pickups





Get ready for serious low end. The Ibanez SRF700 features two Bartolini MK1 humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets. To make the most out of the pickups - and to help you dial in the right bass tone - the SRF700 is also loaded with a powerful 2-band equalization system. You've get complete control over your bass and treble. When you combine this with the AeroSilk Piezo pickup system, you get a bass that can nail any tone in any genre of music.
