Ibanez SRAS7 Bass Workshop Ashula 7-String Bass - Cosmic Blue Starburst

For 30 years the SR has given bass players a modern alternative. With its continued popularity, Ibanez is constantly endeavoring to answer the wider needs of a variety of players, at a variety of budgets. But no matter what the specs, the heart is the same-SR that continues to excite with its smooth, fast neck, lightweight body, and perfectly matched electronics.

A 7-piece SRAS neck, which features a slim grip shape made of Maple, Walnut and Purpleheart, contributes to the neck's extreme rigidity and increases sustain.

With its unique construction, both the fretted and fretless parts are on one neck, enabling solid tone, chord work, smooth playing, and sensitive voicing.

Jatoba has a reddish brown color which produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end.

The SRAS7 has two types of pickups inside. The fretted part is generated by SRAS Super J pickups specially designed for this model. It provides a clear, bright and rich dynamic tone. The fretless part is generated by an AeroSilk Piezo system. It enhances an acoustic and wooden sound of similar to an upright bass.

With various tonal possibilities provided by the three-way selection of pickup options magnetic, piezo or a mix of both, the SRAS7 will inspire your musical creativity and curiosity.

The detachable finger rest offers two options; placing your thumb near the fretboard outline or in an upper location.

The Mono-rail V is the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation. Each bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference.
