Description
The Ibanez Bass Workshop does it again with their head-turning SRAS7 Ashula, a tonal behemoth that can cover nearly any sound under the sun. This Frankenstein features seven strings, a hybrid fretless/fretted fingerboard, and a mix of single-coil and piezo pickups, giving it an incredible sound that'll take you straight to bass heaven. If you're an experimental musician or a player on the quest for the most versatile bass ever made, the SRAS7 Ashula is exactly what you need.
Starting with the tonewoods, this bass sports an okoume body capped with a poplar burl and ash top, giving it a gorgeous sound with tight lows, warm, full mids, and bright, resonant highs. This is complemented by an Indian rosewood and bubinga fingerboard, which adds articulation and presence to its voice. Aside from its tonal properties, this bass is built like a tank. From its seven-piece maple/walnut/bubinga neck to its heavy-duty MR5 bridge, the SRAS7 Ashula has a sturdy, stable feel that's telling of its premium construction.
Plug this bass into your favorite amp, and that's when the real magic begins. On the fretted side, players will be delighted by a pair of dual SRAS Super J pickups that churn out bright, punchy tones that cut like a hot knife through butter. On the fretless side, this bass features an AeroSilk piezo system that delivers a stellar upright bass sound that's great for walking bass lines, classical compositions, and anything in need of that iconic fretless thump. For even further tonal versatility, the SRAS7 Ashula has a 2-band EQ, a 3-way pickup selector, and an active tone control.
Perhaps one of the most unique basses ever built, the Ibanez SRAS7 Ashula is a phenomenal instrument that pushes the boundaries of sound, making it perfect for adventurous players looking to unlock their true creative potential.
