Ibanez SRF 705 'Portamento' Fretless REDUCED - *SOLD* £500 Tenterden

[DWeekes90]

NOW £450

 

A great fretless from the always reliable Ibanez. I bought this bass new from Wunjo Bass on Denmark Street (RIP) several years ago and have used it professionally many times for musical theatre shows, cruise ships and even the occasional function gig! 

 

Piezo pickup in the bridge (which can be blended in) gives you some excellent upright bass like thump if that's what you're after. 

 

Currently strung up with some very classy (and expensive!) Thomasik-Infeld Jazz Flats 

 

34" scale

neck through 

30 fret neck (not a misprint! the neck extends all the way to the neck pickup)

16.5mm string spacing 

5 piece maple/bubinga neck

Mahogany wing body

2 band EQ 

Bartolini Mk 1 pickups

Aerosilk Piezo system

 

Bass is in great condition overall but as with many used instruments the chrome on the pots is a little worn.

 

Service and set up in Aug 2022 (including a new jack) by Nigel Martin of True Notes UK in Rye, East Sussex.  

 

You don't see these come up very often as the few people I know who have used them really like them! Selling as I'm not playing professionally any more and am moving house soon.

 

Pickup only from Tenterden, Kent as I have no spare hard case at the moment. Price is 400 lower than Andertons are currently selling for so here's an opportunity to pick up a really versatile fretless for a seriously good price!

Any trades? 👍

Love this. I even went to Charlie Chandler at the weekend to book my SR505 in for a fretless conversion as this pushed me over the edge. GLWTS.

great looking bass. I tried one at the sw bass bash recently and would love to get one, shame you're so far away from me 😞
