Ibanez GWB1005 Gary Willis Signature 5 String Bass Guitar - Fretless - Natural Flat

As well as a lightweight body, the GWB1005 Signature is also equipped with a maple neck and an ebony fingerboard, offering an incredibly stable and smooth performance. The maple tonewood provides the overall tone with a beautifully bright characteristic, creating a sizzling high-end with plenty of punch. The rosewood tonewood provides a very responsive bright, snappy attack, along with a smooth sustain and an open midrange.This Signature Ibanez’s fretless design provides a unique tone that fretted versions can’t achieve. By removing the frets, the strings can vibrate more freely and interact directly with the ebony fingerboard. This setup also offers players a naturally smooth slide and a double-bass style vibrato and microtonal intonations. While the fretless bass is used mainly in jazz and funk since it offers a similar feel and tone as an acoustic double bass, it can work well in a wide variety of musical styles.
