Ibanez SR Bass Workshop Fretless Electric Bass - Brown Topaz Burst Low Gloss Reviews
Ring in a new low-end era with this stellar Ibanez. Sweetwater suggests the SR Bass Workshop Fretless electric bass for anyone looking to make a foray into fretless instruments. This bass’s lightweight and delightfully resonant okoume body fares excellently when paired with its fretless fingerboard. Meanwhile, its maple top adds a slight treble sheen to the sound. The bass’s two Nordstrand Big Break pickups offer a sound ranging from massive power to cleaned-up single-coil. A hidden gem of the SR Bass Workshop is the AeroSilk under-saddle pickup system, which adds an acoustic quality to the overall sound. Ease of playability is unquestionable, thanks to a 5-piece maple/walnut neck and bound panga panga fingerboard that wrap it all together.

Piezo pickup has a warm, full sound. Norstrand pickups are very clear and modern sounding.
I've been playing this bass for several weeks now, mostly with a Big Band, but occasionally a small combo jazz group. The tone on the Piezo pickup is phenomenal. It blends well, and packs quite a punch. Blending in the Norstrand pickups adds a lot of treble clarity. Small adjustments with the active EQ go a long way.
My one complaint is the three volume knobs. I would have preferred a blend knob for the two soap bar pickups, but that's just a personal preference.
Overall, the bass is excellent. It feels and sounds great.
