Premium bass with neck-through construction
For the Premium BTB1905LW Ibanez uses magnificent woods and an elaborate neck-through construction with extra long 35" scale length (889 mm), which guarantees a tight sound of all strings. The heart of the five-stringer is the full-length neck made of panga panga and purpleheart and reinforced with graphite. The African mahogany body wings also support a lacewood top and back, whose vivid grain makes the bass guitar an absolute eye-catcher. The flat BTB5 neck profile promises agile playing characteristics over the 24 stainless steel frets of the Panga Panga fingerboard.
Aguilar pickups and active EQ
Featuring dual Aguilar DCB pickups that rely on two ceramic blade magnets for electrical tone conversion, the BTB1905LW bass guitar delivers finely resolved Bass sounds with rich sustain that expertly capture every detail in the playing style. For precise tone matching, the electric bass is also equipped with an active Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band tone control. In addition to the 3-way mini switch for selecting the center frequency for the mid control, the electronics also offer a bypass switch so that the 5-string can be played in passive mode if desired.
Noble Bass Hardware
Last but not least, the Premium BTB1905LW electric bass comes with high-quality Hardware, whose golden Finish underlines the dignified look of the five-stringer. On the body, five Ibanez MR5S Mono-Rail single bridges decouple the strings from each other, supporting the lively sound. In addition, the bridges guarantee a clean adjustment of intonation and string action. Behind the zero fret and saddle, Gotoh tuners ensure precise tuning with unshakable stability.
