5-string E-Bass with poplar burl top and active electronics!
With the Ibanez BTB Bass Workshop, Ibanez proves that true boutique quality does not necessarily require a boutique budget. This 5 string bass features a full length neck through construction with a stable five piece maple and walnut neck, offering maximum tuning stability and long sustain thanks to graphite reinforcement rods. The 37-35" multi scale design ensures a tight low end on the lower strings while maintaining comfortable playability in the higher registers. Visually, the combination of okoume and ash body wings with an elegant poplar burl top creates a striking appearance, while the T1 humbuckers paired with the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3- band EQ, including a switchable mid frequency and bypass option, deliver an exceptionally wide tonal range from modern punch to warm vintage character. The instrument is completed by the MR5S bridge system with adjustable string spacing, high quality hardware, and an included hardshell case. The Ibanez Bass Workshop BTB805MS FNL Florid Natural Low Gloss is therefore an uncompromising professional bass for modern playing styles in the studio and on stage.
The okoume body with ash wings and burl poplar top gives the BTB805MS a grandiose look for the rehearsal room, stage and studio!
