Old Horse Murphy Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Well this is a first for me. This morning I took delivery of a secondhand Ibanez Fanned Fret Bass (the SRFF805) which is actually my very first Ibanez and my first fanned fret. The multi scale runs from 35.5" on the B to 34" on the G so it's very comfortable. Build quality is excellent and the active/passive eq is really good indeed. Now all I need to do is wait to use it in anger sometime in the (hopefully) not too distant future... 1 Quote
machinehead Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 A player I know bought one of these a couple of months ago. I tried it and was amazed how easy the fanned frets are to play. As you say, great quality build too. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it PV. (Post-virus.) Frank. 1 Quote
CameronJ Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Congrats @Old Horse Murphy! Beware though. It’s potentially a gateway drug into the world of multi scale bass. Soon, like me, you’ll have Dingwalls sprouting from every orifice! 2 Quote
dub_junkie Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Owned the SRFF806 for about a year. Amazing neck/set up, action was crazy low. Feeling a spot of seller’s regret thinking about how well that bass played😕 Quote
Grahambythesea Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 That’ll feel a bit different to the mustang 😎 Quote
ProfJames Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Thinking of getting a four string Ibanez fan fret.......anyone had any experience? Quote
