Product Information
BTB805MS
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-through construction, and top quality components, all meticulously combined into a stunning pro-level instrument. But what about the upfront investment of such an instrument? That’s where Ibanez comes in. Our ability to build small-shop quality into inspiring yet affordable instruments is showcased in droves with BTB series basses.
Bass Workshop
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 and affording new avenues of expression and creativity. This spirit of exploration led to the creation of the Ibanez Bass Workshop project, designed to satisfy the specific needs of modern bassists seeking new sonic possibilities.
5pc Maple/Walnut neck with Graphite reinforcement rods
The 5pc Maple/Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack. The Graphite reinforcement rods provide massive sustain and excellent stability.
Panga Panga fretboard
Panga Panga features a beautiful wood grain which produces a tight low and mid range, along with a sharp attack on the high end.
Medium Stainless Steel frets
The Stainless Steel frets are durable and long-lasting.
Poplar Burl top / Okoume / Ash wing body
A stunning Poplar Burl top with an Okoume/Ash wing body provides bright and solid tones with rich sustain.
T1 pickups
The T1 pickup is a humbucker featuring two separate, individually mounted coils that provide tight bass response, punchy mid-range, and clear high-end. Each coil’s height can be adjusted individually for nuanced tonal control, while the ergonomic rounded design enhances comfort when used as a thumb rest. The offset coil placement keeps the pickup surface parallel with the strings, greatly improving playability on multi-scale instruments.
Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ
The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ delivers straightforward, no-nonsense control. The Mid control’s Boost and Cut are centered on slightly different frequencies, providing a preset range of musically favorable bass tones.
MR5S bridge
The MR5S bridge features adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist’s specific spacing needs.
EQ bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot)
The EQ bypass switch allows players to choose passive-only operation. When activated, the treble control functions as a global passive tone knob.
3-way Mid frequency switch
The 3-way Mid frequency switch allows players to select from three mid-frequency options, delivering exceptional tonal flexibility.
Hardshell case included
Ibanez Hardshell case gives extreme protection for your beloved instrument.
37–35 inch multi scale
The 37-inch scale-length on the B string provides stronger tension for enhanced clarity and projection, even when drop tuned. The 35-inch scale on the G string maintains balanced tension while allowing smoother, more comfortable fretting.
Neck-through construction
The neck-through construction contributes to massive sustain and smooth access to higher fretboard positions.
