At a certain point, the word “boutique” comes to mind: Select-grade materials, neck-thru 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Bass Workshop -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more than 40 years, Ibanez has pioneered new frontiers in bass development, pushing the boundaries of conventional designs for 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. Following this same drive to bring new and relevant ideas to the musical forefront is what serves as the basis for this ongoing project, dubbed the Ibanez Bass Workshop. The impetus behind each one of these unique instruments comes from a desire by the Ibanez bass development team to satisfy the particular needs of many players. These inventions may not be for everyone, but for those who yearn to explore new sonic vistas through the medium of bass, the Ibanez Bass Workshop project may give you just what you're looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5pc Maple\/Walnut neck with Graphite reinforcement rods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5pc Maple\/Walnut neck provides tonal clarity and superior attack.

It offers flexible voicing suitable for various genres, and the height of each coil can be set individually for highly nuanced adjustments to the tone. On top of its great sound, the physical design features rounded edges for enhanced ergonomic comfort when using the pickup as a thumb rest. Moreover, the individually mounted coils allow them to be positioned slightly offset from one another. This makes the surface of the pickup where the player rests their thumb directly parallel with the strings, which is not typical with most multi-scale basses. This design greatly enhances the comfort and playability of the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIbanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is a refinement of simple, straightforward EQ control.
