Description

The Ibanez SRH500F Fretless Semi Hollow Bass in Natural Brown Burst is a modern solution that gives bass guitarists access to the fretless feel and the sound of an upright bass with the contours and playability of a solid-body bass. It combines a bright and resonant 55m-thick semi-hollow chambered body with enhanced playing contours and a smooth playing neck. The neck is mounted to the body with an exceptionally ergonomic sculpted heel while the neck and fingerboard are thin enough to enable the most technically demanding of playing styles. The 55mm body is constructed from warm and resonant mahogany and it is chambered to open its sound up for an “airy” quality of tone. The body has a spruce top for great nuance and responsiveness while an AeroSilk piezo pickup is integrated into the bridge and specially designed to work with flat-wound strings; this allows you to recreate the tonality of a 4-string upright bass. For session players and solid-body-playing bassists wishing to achieve an upright sound with a fretless feel this is the ideal half way instrument which will let you keep the comfortable playing feel of a solid-body. The SRH500F would also make an ideal studio instrument giving your recordings a fresh new tonal option.
