Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The SRF705-BBF is a seriously refined fretless bass. That maple/walnut neck-through gives it incredible sustain, and the Bartolini pickups deliver a focused, modern fretless tone. It's a great option for players wanting a premium fretless experience without the absolute top-tier price tag – especially those diving into upright-inspired styles or wanting a sophisticated, articulate sound.

Frequently Asked Questions
The piezo system adds a layer of acoustic realism, especially useful for upright bass emulation or subtle dynamic nuances – you can blend it with the magnetic pickups for a unique tonal palette.
Panga Panga is denser and harder than rosewood, so it can feel a bit slicker initially; it often develops a nice feel with use or a light oiling.
The neck-through design contributes to a more resonant and sustained tone compared to a bolt-on neck, as it allows vibrations to travel more freely along the instrument's length.
