The SRH505F-NNF is a seriously interesting fretless offering from Ibanez. The semi-hollow construction and piezo pickups give it a unique, almost upright-bass-like quality, while the Jatoba neck keeps things comfortable. It’s perfect for players wanting to explore a more organic and expressive bass tone, especially in jazz, fusion, or singer-songwriter settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Piezo pickups capture more of the instrument's natural vibrations, resulting in a brighter, more acoustic-like sound with less 'bass thump' than magnetic pickups, but increased clarity.
The SRH profile is generally considered a comfortable, medium-thin shape; however, it's always best to try it in person to ensure it suits your hand size and playing style.
The semi-hollow design can be more prone to feedback at high volumes; careful amplifier EQ and potentially a feedback suppressor might be necessary for stage use.
