Ibanez BTB865MS Bass Workshop 5-String Multi Scale Electric Bass Guitar, Transparent White Flat

Ready to deliver state of the art bass exploration and sonic supremacy, the Ibanez BTB Bass Workshop series delivers bold, adventurous takes on the electric bass guitar, and the BTB865MS multi scale 5-string provides exactly that: uncompromising, untraditional, and unforgettable bass experiences. This bass, with its extended range, multi scale neck, and Ibanez Custom electronics, excels at one-of-a-kind style and practicality, opening new avenues for low-end creativity.

Introduced in a striking double-cutaway silhouette with a Transparent White Flat finish, this BTB credits its exotic appearance to the ash top, while the body made of ash and okoume supplies rich sustain, a solid sound with thriving brightness, and an attack that makes sure no note goes unnoticed. The 5-piece maple/walnut neck-through construction leads to additional resonance and a smooth, seamless feel, while the neck's Graphite reinforcement rods provides excellent stability. Affixed to the neck is a bound panga panga fingerboard that exudes tight lows and snappy attack, housing the 35"-37" scale length that is segmented and fanned with 24 medium sized stainless steel frets.

Projecting the solid tone from the BTB are the T1 humbucker pickups found in the neck and bridge positions—a set of passive pickups that are suitable for many genres, producing a clear high-end, punchy mid-range, and a full-bodied, tight low-end. In addition to the tonality, this pickups are individually mounted for height dependent nuanced tone, with each pickup featuring rounded edges for comfort while playing, and the staggered, slightly offset positioningthat reflects the multi scale nature of the instrument. Ibanez utilizes their Custom electronics to dial in exciting tones with a wide array of controls—volume, balancer, boost/cut knobs for bass, mid, and treble—along with an EQ bypass and 3-way mid frequency switch. Truly, there are very few basses that harnesses so much variable tone than the BTB.

Secured in a transport ready hardshell case, the BTB865MS multi scale 5-string bass is equipped to be your new low-end, extended ranged companion.
