Ibanez SR Bass Workshop SRA7 7-String Bass Guitar – Cosmic Blue Starburst New

Experience New Offerings From Ibanez – The Ibanez SR Bass Workshop SRA7 7-String Bass Guitar in Cosmic Blue Starburst

Development of this bass started from one simple question; Can Ibanez create both fretted and fretless-sound on one bass? The SRAS “Ashula” is the simple solution from Ibanez. With its unique construction, both the fretted and fretless parts are on one neck, enabling solid tone, chord work, smooth playing, sensitive voicing, and so on. Why not go hybrid? The “Ashula” expands the possibilities of the bass guitar in ways you have never experienced.

Bass Workshop

For more than 40 years, Ibanez has pioneered new frontiers in bass development, pushing the boundaries of conventional designs to bass players of all styles, affording new avenues of expression and creativity. This spirit of exploration has led to the creation of some of the most successful and popular production basses of all time. Following this same drive to bring new and relevant ideas to the musical forefront is what serves as the basis for this ongoing project, dubbed the Ibanez Bass Workshop. The impetus behind each one of these unique instruments comes from a desire by the Ibanez bass development team to satisfy the particular needs of many players. These inventions may not be for everyone, but for those who yearn to explore new sonic vistas through the medium of bass: The Ibanez Bass Workshop project may give you just what you’re looking for.
