Product Information
Felipe Andreoli, a native of São Paulo, Brazil, stands today as a globally acclaimed bassist. His virtuosity resonates through his work with the world-famous band Angra, Kiko Loureiro's solo ensemble, the instrumental collective 4Action, Matanza Ritual, and his own solo project.
With a discography spanning numerous albums, Andreoli's artistry has graced over 35 countries through extensive tours, alongside conducting regular clinics and masterclasses. Notably, in 2022, he stepped into the shoes of the iconic Billy Sheehan for the South American leg of Sons Of Apollo's tour, sharing the stage with luminaries like Mike Portnoy, Derek Sherinian, Jeff Scott Soto, and Bumblefoot.
Felipe's mastery of the bass has earned him the title of Brazil's best bassist for 23 uninterrupted years across various esteemed platforms. His expertise has been recognized with multiple cover features in prestigious music magazines both in Brazil and internationally.
During the development process of his signature model, Felipe teamed up with Ibanez to design a BTB bass that would be accessible to as many players as possible without compromising its essential specs, such as neck-through construction, 35” scale length, zero fret, and mono-rail bridge.
The result of this collaboration is the FAB1-WK, which features the powerful α1 pickups, sleek all-black hardware, and vibrant white pearloid block inlays – all designed to complement Felipe’s technically diverse playing style.
