General

Built by the Ibanez Bass Workshop, the BTB805MS meets every wish any modern bass guitarist could have, starting with stainless steel fanned frets and a thorough neck-through construction. All of these 24 frets are exceptionally durable, lend the strings a great feel, and actually help to tighten up the lows without adding messing with the trebles. At the same time and in combination with adjustable string spacing (18mm, +/- 1.5mm), the unyielding 5-piece maple-and-walnut neck ensures optimum playing comfort across the board and along the fretboard.

The BTB805MS: 5-String Bass With a Light Touch and Rich, Flexible Tone

Set-in wings carved from okoume and ash aid the transference of the acoustic foundation sound of this fanned-fret bass, adding body and tightness to the tone shaped by active Custom Electronics and two Ibanez BTB 2 passive T1 pickups. So you can steer this 5-string bass in any stylistic direction, those humbuckers can be reined in or unleashed in countless ways using the 3-band EQ, control pots and the special 3-way mid-frequency switch.

Wrote the following about Ibanez Bass Workshop BTB805MS Transparent Gray Flat 5-String Electric Bass Guitar with Soft Case

Bass speelt als een trein, sound is vol en krachtig. Speelde hiervoor een SR1000 uit 1992 maar dit is zo veel beter. Stainless steel frets spelen ook lekkerder; zero-fret zorgt voor altijd dezelfde klank, ook bij open snaar. Afwerking is helemaal top, frets supermooi afgerond.
Switch naar multiscale was geen probleem, alles een noot lager gestemd voor hele zware tonen (altijd clean uiteraard!).
Aanrader!!!
