Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ibanez’s Mode MDM1300 is a right-handed four-string bass built with an ash body and a one-piece roasted maple neck and fingerboard. Its Thin C neck, rounded fingerboard edges, and 24-fret layout are intended for fast movement and full upper-register access. A pair of Delta S4J pickups runs through the Sonitech S preamp, putting volume, pickup balance, tone, three-band EQ, EQ bypass, and selectable mids under direct control. The adjustable-spacing MR5S Mono-rail bridge and detachable finger ramp add further player-focused adjustment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Four-string bass work needing pickup balance, EQ bypass, and detailed mid-frequency selection.
- Fingerstyle approaches that benefit from the included detachable finger ramp.
- Studio or stage playing that uses all 24 frets and low-light side-dot references.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this bass is right handed.
- Players who need a five-string bass.
