Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a 35–37-inch multi-scale layout, the BTB605MS gives the low B added tension while keeping the higher strings in the same instrument. Its neck-through build combines a graphite-reinforced five-piece maple/walnut neck with okoume body wings. Two T1 humbuckers have independently adjustable coil height, and the onboard controls provide three-band EQ, selectable mid frequencies, and an EQ-bypass passive setting. The MR5S bridge also lets you alter string spacing by ±1.5 mm. An Ibanez hardshell case is supplied.
