The SRAS7 is a seven string hybrid fretted/fretless Soundgear series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez in 2017. It is also referred to as the Ashula SRAS7. It was produced in Indonesia as part of the Ibanez Bass Workshop line.

The SRAS7 features a poplar burl and ash top on a double-cutaway mahogany body bolted to a seven-piece maple, rosewood, and purpleheart neck. The fretboard consists of a fretless upper (bass) section made of rosewood and an 22-fret lower (treble) section made of purpleheart with offset pearloid stadium position markers. Components include 2 Super J pick-ups and an AeroSilk piezo for the fretless part of the instrument as well as Mono-Rail V bridges with 16mm string spacing and a walnut finger rest. A pick-up selector allows the user to switch between regular pick-ups, piezo, or mix.

For 2018 the rosewood portion of the fingerboard was replaced with jatoba and the maple, rosewood and purpleheart neck was replaced with maple, walnut and purpleheart. For 2019 the mahogany body was replaced with okoume.

The SRAS7 was discontinued after 2020.
