Appreciate the video, good stuff. I've got the fretless srf705 portamento, I'm in love with it. I started off learning upright bass in elementary school, so the the sound from these basses really speak to me.

Thanks. I've been really impressed by what Ibanez has been doing lately.

Andy Fraser from Free was a great rock fretless player also Great Vid

[@kristianborisov5928]

Hello! Great demo! Do you have any noise coming out from your SRH505F? I have some very broad-band noise which is hard to remediate with selective band cancellation. Tried different freshly re-charged batteries, but still the same.

[@KPJohnson]

Hello, thanks! No, I don’t have any noise. I wonder if yours may have a bad ground or wiring issue?

[@sfmag1]

Hows the balance ? I heard something about neck dive.

[@KPJohnson]

I haven't noticed anything substantial. I use a wide leather strap and have no issues.

I was under the impression that the body was supposed to be mahogany and the fretboard was supposed to be rosewood with only a panga neck, seriously rethinking purchase of one of these now.

[@KPJohnson]

Definitely a panga panga fretboard and spruce top. Okume is similar to mahogany, I believe. Are you rethinking in a positive or negative way?

[@TheProphet3113]

@@KPJohnson Negative, true mahogany has such different tone properties, its heavier but the density effects resonance, I'll have to see if I can find an older model in good condition.
Edit: in consultation with my grandfather, no, okoume is nothing like mahogany other than in color when aged. When it comes to durability, density, hardness, it's akin to soft maple. But what does he know, our family has only been in this buisness for 300 years.

@@TheProphet3113 this is some pathetic next level cope. In the biz for 300 years lmao

[@TheProphet3113]

@@steveng6721 It it a matter of fact that Bach was a huge fan of our work. Laugh all you want foolish child, it only makes you look uninformed about music history to ones like myself whose families made it.

Jesus, Kevin, know your audience. I assure you the people looking for a review of this instrument are not beginners.

[@madmaximilian5783]

I was waiting much to long for the demo of the bass sounds...to much yakking!
Lost interest in the whole video...😕

[@KPJohnson]

Sorry about that. I've gotten better at this, I think?
