Love this dude's playing. Always great to hear.
The final riff... Too beautiful to comprehend
THE BEAUTIFUL TAPPING AT THE END
Wow, sounds surprisingly good! What a great shot by Ibanez!
I bought the SRFF805 and i am very happy of it!!!
This is definitely the best video review I've seen for this bass so far.
I love my SRFF806, great bass, great price, great playability. Just Great!

I love this fanned fretted bass, sounds so good.
I never though a man sized dwarf could inspire me playing bass this much! If Rene ever will do a solo concerts featuring all these tracks, I will come there even if I am dead!
Picked up my SRFF805 a couple of weeks ago and it has become my go to bass. Absolutely love the feel of the fanned frets...not sure I can go back to regular basses now.
just ordered one, im pumped.

me too, how do you like it?
Actually just got my ibanez srff805 two days ago and it plays awesome :D
Very inspiring 👍👍👍.. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Damn I love this Bass
I wish this bass came in the same charcoal brown burst of the Ibanez Gio SoundGear 205
That is the coolest bass I have ever seen in my life
Great playing! And I dig the tone. What amp or preamp or DI was used? Just curious as I'm wanting to get into bass (guitar player)
I just bought this bass. haven't had à bass for 6 years... I play 7 strings guitar. So excited ! !!
I personally really enjoy this bass, off all of them it is my most enjoyable to play
HI, who can advise please ! i want to buy the BTB685sc as i play a bit of Jazz and Metal but since i discovered the SRFF805 im getting lost! Thanks for your help :)
hi im thinking to change my bass what do you think? this bass or warwick rockbass corvette $$?
Hi René, do you think if it is worth it to put a Nordstrand Big Singles on it ? Thanks and best regards.
so how is it going toward a Rickenbacker?
Is there enough place for slap? I mean the string spacing.
what are your knob settings from 1:15?
I've been following these basses for a while, most pictures online make it look like an ugly finish, but it looks pretty nice in this video. Not to mention the tone on that low B!

The tone on that B string is literally the only reason I want to adopt this fan fret thing. I truly believe this is the future for over-4-string bass players. That B string is already floppy enough as it is, and then if you plan to drop tune it at all, the tone just goes to mud. The fan fret/multi-scale design keeps that B string nice and tight!! I will absolutely go with the flow on this one!
Ibanez 4 life!
I've put d'Addario Chrome flatwounds on my SRFF805, as I love the thumpy, warm lows and mids. With the longer scale on the .132 string, there is such a clear definition when doing runs down low! Current work in progress: adding a Glockenklang preamp, and changing the pickups. Anyone has a good advice for what pickups to choose, given my flavor of warm lows and mids?

Anything Neodymium. I think Nordstrand can make you some.
Thanks for the great demo. Now, if I spend money I don't really have, I'll blame it on you. By the way, that second riff was killer!
noob question to seasoned players... recommended strings and aftermarket pickups for this rig?? (mid priced to higher pickups and really good sounding strings)
@johnymartin5411

It already comes with bartolini pickups , why would you want to change them?
Wow 35.5"! I guess they went with having a tighter bottom end more than soloing pretty notes, because I would've gone with a slightly lower scale for the G string as well
Demo the BTB Volo!
Which is the better one? The instrument, or the player?
I thought you were playing that "more cowbell" song at the beginning. Hehe! Would love to try one of this basses!
Who does he keep looking at?
what is the first song ? :) its cool
That punchy and gnarly sound reminds me a lot of freakin' Dingwall and i'm not even joking. I'm using quite a lot of a plugin called Djinnbass, which is basically sampled Dingwall done by a very capable guy and it comes VERY close. This bass looks amazing, sounds amazing and is not overpriced. Ibanez doing great job as always!
good!
Sweet playing! Do you think the bass would sound good tuned down to F#?

Don't get this wrong... I think no bass sounds good with such a tuning. But if any, then fanned frets are the way to go.

+BassTheWorld.com Yeah, I'm sure that's debatable. I've seen some guys do that to accompany 8 string guitars. Haven't tried that tuning myself (or played any extended range bass for that matter), but I'm thinking of buying this bass because the fanned frets are pure sex.
@kymfairall9662

+sesmusic It could do, its a 35.5 scale on the low string which would really help but for F# you'd most likely need it set up and change your string gauge. I've heard a great sounds from dingwall basses in F#but the scale length is longer again. Probably go for a 36 inch scale or longer but there are a lot variables besides that to. But it's definitely possible. (Sorry is I rambled on a bit there :)

+Kym Fairall That makes sense! I've looked at the Dingwall's, but they're a bit too pricey for me. Might take a look at a longer scale Ibanez.
@dsaillant811

If the price of a dingwall is too much, it's unlikely you'll be able to find too much more in the 36" area that's affordable. My advice would be to get the 6 string version of the Ibanez (extra string, more tension I guess? Don't quote me on that, me no do good science) if that's to your taste and get some big-ass strings like the 190 set from Kalium. That'll give you at least a decent sound on a slightly less-than-ideal bass.
Really nice wood grain.
Has this bass been discontinued...?!?
I want to ask you about this Ibanez SRFF806: how well is this bass balanced? I want to order one, but I've had a bad experience with another 6-string Ibanez SR, SR506, where the neck always wanted to overweight the body.

Ok I get it. I want you to play Sterling by Musicman Ray35QM in the video If you find it :D.
I have played electric and double bass for a long time. I've never owned a fanned fret bass. Most players do not play a fanned fret bass. This begs the question... What is the benefit of a fanned fret bass? It looks super cool... just not sure of its function... somewhat like scalloped fretboards...

Glen Denig it’s supposed to give the lower strings a longer scale length so they aren’t as floppy but also not make the higher strings too tight.

+gazfunk Generally you want to be "on the fret marker" on a fretless for the best intonation. It's hard enough as it is, and I guess there's really no way to "fan out" frets if they're not really there.

+Matt “Fisher” Odjig You could fan out the fret lines i guess.

+gazfunk You could do it theoretically, but the spacing between the lines on a 35.5 string would be crazy. There'd be a lot of stretching between your fingers, which is what the fanned frets are sort of supposed to reduce

Sick looking bass. The Dark finish on the body with that dark finish on the neck look's f'n tits together. Do the pick ups have to be mounted on that angle to work?

Well, It is the exact opposite. I have played many many basses, and found a lot of them amazing, Among them, I have played (and owned) IbaneZ, and switched to another, since they were not satisfying. I never said all basses were shit. I just said that THIS ONE in particular has a dull sound. Whether I play Dingwall or not is irrelevant, since I could name like 15 brands I love and still do not play... and that still does not make the sr ff any less "way below average quality" =) It is not all black or white in this life, my friend
