IbanezANB205 Adam Nitti Signature 5-String Bass Transparent Wine Red Burst

Adam Nitti has been establishing his own voice as a bassist and recording artist for over two decades. As a session bassist and sideman, Adam has worked on hundreds of projects across different genres, including performances on several Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated albums. Ibanez is proud to introduce Adam’s stunning new signature bass, the ANB205. The ANB205 has a lightweight swamp ash body, which produces sparkling highs and rich harmonics. The back side of the lower horn has an extra scoop, borrowed from the Ibanez SR’s body shape, which enables easier access to higher fret positions without stress. The maple neck and fretboard provide crisp, bright highs and strong upper midrange. Adam selected Bartolini 59CBJD pickups for his new signature bass. These “Classic Bass” pickups are passive designs that feature an extended and more resonant frequency range. The pickups have far more “air” and definition at the top end without sacrificing lows and low mids. The pickups are cast in epoxy to remove any unwanted feedback and microphonics. The Bartolini NTMB+F preamp is specially modified for Adam’s taste and offers fully independent bass, mid and treble controls with very low noise and a wide boost/cut range. The sound is extremely clear and transparent. Adam’s favorite Hipshot A Style bridge has 18mm string spacing, slightly wider than the standard 16.5mm SR-5 string spacing. The extra space offers players plenty of freedom for techniques like slap, without compromising player comfort. The ANB205 comes with an optional ash finger ramp, which allows for a more consistent attack with a quicker recovery time. Case sold separately.
