Fanned frets are an exciting trend in high-end bass guitar design. They yield a longer scale on the bass side of the instrument and a shorter scale on the treble side, offering you better intonation and more consistent tension and attack from string to string. While getting used to them may seem intimidating, Sweetwater bassists have found it's a very natural transition.
Open sound with more controlBartolini is well established around bass players for delivering clear, warm performance via a dual-coil style configuration that maximizes articulation for balanced string-to-string pickup response. The mix of Ibanez's custom preamp and the dual Bartolini BH1 pickups gives you a detailed sound that can be tweaked for any tonal application with surgical precision. Plus, you can switch the Ibanez preamp between active and passive modes for even more sonic options.
Mono-rail V bridge for ultimate string isolationThe Mono-rail V bridge installed on the SRFF806 minimizes between-string crosstalk. When you play a string, sympathetic vibrations can set the other strings into motion. But by separating the bridge into five independent units the Mono-rail V maximizes vibration transfer without interference from the other strings.
