Ibanez Bass Workshop SRAS7 CBS Ashula 7-String Hybrid Partly-Fretless Electric Bass Cosmic Blue Starburst

In the realm of bass guitars, innovation knows no bounds, and the Ibanez Bass Workshop continues to push the envelope of creativity. For over four decades, Ibanez has been a trailblazer in bass development, constantly challenging the norms to provide bassists across genres with new means of expression. This relentless spirit of exploration has given birth to some of the most iconic and cherished bass guitars ever produced. And now, it fuels the ongoing Ibanez Bass Workshop project, dedicated to meeting the unique needs of players seeking to redefine their sonic landscapes.

The Ibanez Bass Workshop SRAS7 CBS Ashula is a testament to this innovative journey. With its ground-breaking half-fretless/half-fretted design, this 7-string electric bass opens up a universe of tonal possibilities. Crafted to inspire and empower musicians who crave sonic diversity, the SRAS7 is a true work of art.

The SRAS7 boasts a 7-piece Maple/Walnut/Bubinga neck for remarkable stability and excellent transmission of string vibrations, all while maintaining impeccable tuning even during intense play. The Indian Rosewood fretboard on the fretted section produces a well-balanced, solid tone with a focused mid-range, while the Bubinga fretless portion delivers tight lows and edgy mids. Medium-sized frets further enhance note accuracy, making every performance impeccable.

The Poplar Burl/Ash top paired with an Okoume body (besides looking incredible in a Cosmic Blue Starburst finish) ensures bright, solid tones with rich sustain. The SRAS Super J pickups provide clear, bright, and dynamically rich tones, while the AeroSilk piezo pickup adds an acoustic warmth reminiscent of an upright bass. With the Ibanez 2-band EQ and Piezo active tone control, you can sculpt your sound precisely to your liking.

The MR5(Fretted)/AeroSilk MR5(Fretless) bridge, with its Mono-Rail V design, isolates bass strings for maximum vibration transfer without interference. The Piezo/Mix/Magnetic 3-way pickup selector offers endless tonal variations, sparking your creativity. As if that wasn't enough, the SRAS7 comes with a detachable 2-way finger rest, allowing you to explore multiple thumb positions for added comfort and versatility. And to protect your cherished instrument, an Ibanez Hardshell case is included.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Ibanez Bass Workshop SRAS7 CBS Ashula 7-String Hybrid Partly-Fretless Electric Bass Cosmic Blue Starburst is a masterpiece of innovation and craftsmanship, perfect for musicians who crave unique and expressive sonic landscapes.
