General

To celebrate the fact they've been working together for years, Ibanez and Gary Willis drop the Premium Series GWB25TH Signature 5-string fretless bass. This anniversary edition features an alder body and a bolt-on, 3-piece maple neck topped with a deluxe ebony fretboard that comes with lines instead of actual frets to help you play the correct notes.

The GWB25TH: Custom Bartolini GWB Pickup & GWB Finger Ramp

The special coil design of the custom Bartolini GWB pickup results in superior string-to-string balance, while the active NTBT EQ controls help you pull deep basses and boosted trebles out of this outstanding bass. Prefer a more natural sound? Then you can simply bypass the EQ by pulling out the volume pot. Thoughtfully included as the finishing touch, the GWB finger ramp makes sure you can't overextend with your plucking fingers, supporting consistent attack.
