Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ibanez’s Mode MDM1005 is a right-handed five-string bass with an alder body, a one-piece roasted maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. Its Thin C profile and rounded fingerboard edges support quick position changes, while 24 frets extend access across the neck. Two Delta S5J pickups feed the Sonitech S preamp, with a pickup balancer, master tone, three-band EQ, EQ bypass, and selectable mid-frequency options. Luminescent side dots help with reference points in low-light performance settings.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Five-string bass parts that call for 24-fret access and selectable mid-frequency shaping.
- Stage work in low light, where luminescent side dots provide visual reference.
- Players who want pickup balancing alongside master tone and three-band EQ controls.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this bass is right handed.
- Players looking for a four-string bass.
