Sophie just has such solid no frills playing I love it. I feel like with her demos I really get a feel for exactly how the bass sounds.

Hyped AF...
Finally a successor to the Portamento series. I love my SRF705, but the changes sound completely logical to me, Nordstrand pickups instead of Bartolini for better output, a semi hollow body for the piezo sound, an MR bridge. Thanks Ibanez and thanks Gregor for the demo❤️‍🔥

[TheRetroBassist]

Ibanez is one of thse companies that rarely misses the mark (at least when it comes to basses) and their pricing is somewhat reasonable, it's difficult to go wrong with any of their lines.
Anyways, great video as always!

Sophie is an amazing melodic player! Wow. Loved listening to her demo.

[sebastiancabrol]

Great playing by Sophie and nice bass, it has all covered.

[facelessman]

I’m just glad Gregor had to say Panga Panga.

[Mortyakamort]

Was just given one of these and I have to say it’s a very versatile smooth playing instrument. I am not a fretless player but have been having a lot of fun on this one and sure I will be expanding my playing immensely.

[SeidellNorbel]

Finally! This does not disappoint! Make Ibanez pay you for demos because if I only had their official demo for this I would have passed it up. Now I have it on Pre-Order! Thank you for the wonderful videos!

[RogerBaysinger]

I love it. Wondering if it’s available without the fingerboard inlays - lined or unlined would be fine.

[YTRopp]

I've considered to buy one, but fell for the SRF705. Similar specs, but the 5th string and neck-through construction made the difference for me. The piezo is the same. Stunning pickup. Before that I had an Ibanez Musician 1982 fretless for 40y. Also a great bass, which made me an Ibanez fan for life.

[grantchapman]

Sophie's phenomenal in many ways 😊

[SoMyungJung]

ouch... that fretboard abrasive vibrato lol
awesome playing and bass though

[Ricardo]

Sophie is so relaxed, love her tone and style. I have a headless short scale and the fret-board dots are practically invisible in the dark. The same is going on with the fret-less which doesn't really have a color difference on the fret-board divisions. Why can't Ibanez listen to the bass players observations?

[unkby]

I love my cheap old fretless Ibanez Soundgear! Practiced on it constantly for years, to the point where I wore the fingerboard down at the 3 5 7 9 positions :-)

[stringsandthetruth]

I bought one of these basses after watching your review. I’ve been playing bass for over 40 years but this is my first fretless bass. It’s light, has a great neck and looks nice. The lines on the fretboard are completely pointless as you just can’t see them. It does sound good though and I’m having a great time playing it.

[betulajaq]

Too true....I have the SRH 500F and just acquired an AEGB24FE acoustic fretless. And after going through a lot of fretless basses over the years including Warwick and a custom fretless Overwater, these two ibanez are the GOATS at a fraction of the cost. I put my fingers on tge strings and they practically play themselves it's so effortless. I recommend everyone to get the AEGB acoustic...it is a beautifully emotional experience !!!😊

[rawhead]

Habe diese Pickups in meinem Cort Modern GB 4 string und dachte schon länger, dass diese prädestiniert für einen Fretless Bass wären...Ibanez did it...klingt klasse..!

[mezu-e]

Can you guys do a video featuring the blue fretted version of this, the SRD900?

[YanDoroshenko]

To me Ibanez makes the most fretless sounding fretless basses. This one seems interesting, but I like the SRF more. It sounds even more fretless to me and doesn't have questionable design choices.

[derPaul]

In my opinion the dots are confusing; it´s way better on the srf700; but no doubt - this is another great bass from Ibanez and as allways neice demo video and playing
