Ibanez BTB Bass Workshop 5-String Multi-Scale Electric Bass Guitar (Cosmic Blue Starburst Low Gloss)
Your musical instruments are an extension of your musical
personality. They should reflect the journey you have taken to reach so far.
Think of select-grade material and top quality construction skilfully put
together by master craftsmen. Good quality certainly comes at a price but
Ibanez tries to decrease that gap with the Ibanez BTB Series Guitars.
Body, Neck, and Fretboard
The Ibanez BTB 5-string guitar has a Bubinga top, ash, and okume wing body. It
features a 9-piece maple, panga panga, and walnut neck held together by
graphite reinforcement rods for unmatched stability. Enjoy supreme note attack
and increased sustain with this unique neck combination. The 5-string
professional guitar delivers a focused mid-range via the rosewood fretboard and
has medium stainless steel frets that go a long way.
Pickups
A type of humbucker, the T1 pickup consists of two separate coils, mounted
individually. It provides tight bass response combined with a striking
mid-range and a clear high-end. To suit a range of genres, the guitar offers
flexible voicing. Adjust the height of each coil individually to attain precise
results. With the round edges, experience comfortable playing like never
before, even while using the pickup as a thumb rest. Unlike most multi scale
basses, the unique design of this guitar allows the individually mounted coils
to be positioned in an offset manner. This enhances the comfort of playing the
instrument.
3-Band EQ
The latest refinement to join the bandwagon of simple and user-friendly EQ
control is the Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-Band EQ. Centred on slightly
different frequencies, the Boost and Cut for the mid control help to deliver
the most favourable bass tones from the preset range.
Bridge
The MR5S bridge is an answer to every bassist’s string spacing needs with its
adjustable saddles that allow variable spacing of about 1.5mm.
EQ Control
The EQ bypass control allows for tonal adjustments with a switch for
passive-only operation. Once the EQ bypass gets activated, the treble control
knob acts as the global tone control knob for the passive circuit. The 3-way
mid frequency switch allows players to change the mid-tone between 250, 450,
and 750 Hz.
Neck-Through Construction
Offering easy access to the high fretboard positions and contributing to
massive sustain is the unique neck-through construction of this multi-scale 5-string
bass guitar.
