Ibanez SRD900F 4-String Fretless Bass – Brown Topaz Burst Low Gloss
A Semi-Hollow, Upright-Inspired Fretless Bass with Boutique Feel
The Ibanez SRD900F delivers a unique blend of upright-like expressiveness and modern electric bass articulation. Featuring a 30-fret fretless Panga Panga fingerboard, semi-hollow Okoume body construction and dual magnetic + piezo pickup systems, this Bass Workshop creation is built for players who crave deep tonal versatility and extended fretless expression.
Designed with ergonomic comfort, rich acoustic character and professional tonal flexibility, the SRD900F is ideal for exploratory musicians, multi-genre session players and fretless purists alike.
Extended 30-Fret Fretless Range
The most defining feature of the SRD900F is its full-length 30-fret Panga Panga fretboard, offering upper-register access traditionally only found on upright basses. The fretless surface invites expressive glissando, microtonal nuance, and singing melodic phrasing.
Panga Panga provides tight lows, articulate mids and a sharp, responsive attack—perfect for fretless definition.
Semi-Hollow Okoume Body + Exotic Maple Top
A semi-hollow Okoume body enhances natural resonance and adds warm, airy acoustic colour to every note. Paired with an Exotic Maple top, the SRD900F offers:
- Enhanced sustain and bloom
- A bright, refined treble character
- Reduced playing fatigue thanks to the lightweight build
This semi-acoustic voice works beautifully with both magnetic and piezo pickups.
Nordstrand™ Big Break Pickups + AeroSilk Piezo Bridge
The SRD900F is equipped with two tonal engines:
Nordstrand™ Big Break Magnetic Pickups (Passive)
- Split-coil soapbar design
- Powerful, full-bodied low end
- Noiseless single-coil-like clarity
Embedded in the AeroSilk MR5 bridge, the AeroSilk Piezo System system captures:
- Upright-style “air” and woody resonance
- Detailed string-to-string articulation
- Warm acoustic thump, ideal for jazz, folk and world styles
Blending piezo and magnetic circuits enables everything from organic upright-like tones to aggressive electric textures.
Ibanez 2-Band EQ + Piezo Tone Control
The SRD900F includes separate tone-shaping for magnetic and piezo outputs:
- Master volume (magnetic)
- Bass & treble EQ (magnetic)
- Piezo volume
- Piezo tone control
This dual-EQ layout yields exceptional flexibility onstage or in the studio.
