The ability to build small-shop quality, into inspiring yet affordable instruments, is showcased in droves with the Ibanez BTB605MS Workshop 5-String Right-Handed Electric Bass Multi Scale Guitar in Midnight Arctic Ocean Matte. Without a doubt, your instrument should reflect the dedication you place in your musicianship and creative endeavors. At a certain point, the word 'boutique' comes to mind: Select-grade materials, neck-thru construction, and top quality components, all in a meticulously combined into a stunning pro-level instrument. For more than 40 years, Ibanez has pioneered new frontiers in bass development, pushing the boundaries of conventional designs to bass players of all styles, affording new avenues of expression and creativity. This spirit of exploration has led to the creation of some of the most successful and popular production basses of all time. The 5pc Maple and Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack. The Graphite reinforcement rods provides massive sustain and excellent stability. Panga Panga features a beautiful wood grain which produces a tight low and mid range, along with a sharp attack on high end. The Stainless Steel frets are durable and long-lasting. The Okoume wing body provides a bright and solid sound. The T1 pickup is a humbucker featuring two separate, individually mounted coils that provides tight bass response, punchy mid-range, and clear high-end. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is the latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones. The MR5S bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by plus and minus 1.5mm, answering every bassist’s specific string spacing needs. The included Ibanez Hardshell case gives extreme protection for your beloved instrument.
