Independent shopping perspective
Extended-range six-string bass from Ibanez’s Premium BTB line, built with an African mahogany body, curly maple and walnut-striped top and back, and a 35-inch seven-piece through-neck. Its deep lower-horn cutaway reaches the higher frets, while the neck-end adjustment gives access to neck adjustment. Aguilar DCB pickups feed a three-band EQ, bypass switch, and selectable 250 Hz, 450 Hz, or 700 Hz mid center. The MR5 bridge provides a broad intonation-adjustment range. A gig bag is included.
