Overview
If you're looking for a bass tool to enrich your creative palette, The Ibanez Bass Workshop may have built your next instrument. This product group focuses on combining unusual concepts with the bass-building virtuosity on which Ibanez has built its reputation. For some players the electric bass is a compromise of convenience--a substitute for the upright bass they have to leave at home. To those players Ibanez says: "Compromise no longer!" The SR Portamento Fretless offers bassists the comfort of their legendary SR, combined with electronics that deliver a very near-to-upright sonic experience. This cutting edge tonal flexibility is the product of two sets of extraordinary pickups: Bartolini MK1-4's play the role of "traditional" electric bass pickups, while the Portamento's Custom bridge contains the "magic" of AeroSilk Piezo system that work with flat wound strings to provide a sense of "air" to the ear that characterizes true upright sound. A 5pc Maple/Walnut thru-neck design helps fortify the sense of an acoustic "body" for the player, and an extended fingerboard give plenty of playroom to complete the Portamento's overall upright acoustic sensibilities.Features:
