Ibanez SRH500F Fretless 4 String Bass Natural Browned Burst Flat

Whether you’re chasing the woody thump of a double bass or looking for a modern, expressive tool to expand your creative palette, the Ibanez Bass Workshop SRH500F is a masterclass in hybrid design. At Tone Tailors, we’re all about gear that helps you find your unique voice, and this semi-hollow fretless beauty is built for players who want to stand out.

Part of the Ibanez Bass Workshop series—where "unusual concepts" meet world-class craftsmanship—the SRH500F blends the comfort of an electric bass with the resonant "air" of an acoustic instrument.

Why It’s Special:

• Acoustic Resonance, Electric Feel: The 55mm-thick semi-hollow body features a Spruce top paired with an Okoume back, delivering a rich, organic tone that rings out even before you plug it in. The specially designed forearm contour ensures that despite the extra body depth, it remains incredibly comfortable for long sets.
• The "Upright" Sound: The magic lies in the AeroSilk Piezo system. Built into a custom bridge and paired with D'Addario ECB81 flatwound strings, this system captures the touch-sensitive nuance and "thump" of a traditional upright bass. Plus, with individual gain trim pots on the back, you can perfectly balance the output of every string.
• Seamless Playability: The 5-piece Jatoba/Walnut neck is slim, stable, and incredibly fast. The bound Panga Panga fingerboard is fretless but features black fret lines—giving you the sleek look of a fretless while providing the visual guidance you need to nail those microtonal slides and perfect intonation.
• Unrestricted Access: The contoured neck heel allows for unfettered access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard, letting your melodic lines soar without the typical "bolt-on" bulk.

At Tone Tailors, we believe your gear should be as unique as your playing. The SRH500F isn't just a bass; it’s an invitation to explore new sonic territory. Whether you’re playing jazz, folk, or experimental rock, this instrument is ready to be tailored to your tone.
