Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Mode MDM1305 is Ibanez’s right-handed five-string entry in the Mode Series, pairing an ash body with a one-piece roasted maple neck and fingerboard. The Thin C neck, rounded fingerboard edges, and 24 frets are arranged for fluid movement across the instrument. Two Delta S5J pickups and the Sonitech S preamp provide volume, pickup balance, tone, three-band EQ, EQ bypass, and expanded mid selection. The MR5S Mono-rail bridge has 18 mm spacing, and a detachable finger ramp supports consistent right-hand fingerstyle technique.
