Ibanez BTB605MS-SOM Bass Workshop BTB Electric Bass 5-String Multi Scale - Solar Eclipse Matte

The Ibanez BTB bass embodies the boutique appeal of a high-end instrument—select materials, neck-through construction, and first-class components—yet remains surprisingly affordable. This is precisely where Ibanez's strength lies: offering professional quality and precision craftsmanship at a price that gives ambitious musicians access to first-class instruments. This approach stems from over 40 years of innovation in the Ibanez Bass Workshop series, which is constantly breaking new ground in bass construction and developing instruments that are specifically tailored to the individual needs of creative players. The bass features a 5-piece maple/walnut neck with graphite reinforcement for stability and sustain, a panga panga fingerboard with clear, defined response, and durable medium stainless steel frets. The okoume body wings deliver a bright, powerful fundamental tone. The innovative T1 humbuckers offer exceptional tonal flexibility and high ergonomic comfort thanks to two individually mounted, individually adjustable coils. The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, 3-way midrange selector switch, EQ bypass, and MR5S bridge with variable string spacing adjustment allow you to precisely shape the sound. A hardshell case ensures safe transport. Particularly noteworthy are the 37–35" multiscale neck, which ensures optimal string tension and playability across the entire range, and the neck-through construction, which provides powerful sustain and effortless access to high positions. The result is an instrument that combines boutique quality, modern innovation, and outstanding playability in one impressive package.
