Ibanez BTB845-CBL Cerulean Blue Burst Low Gloss 5-String Bass Guitar

General

With 5-strings, astounding build-quality, masses of tonal flexibility, and a compulsive level of playability, the Ibanez brain-child that is the BTB845-CBL might be your next life-partner, in terms of bass, at least. The carefully selected and undeniably sumptuous, poplar burl top is only a hint at the quality of this instrument and this deep-thought selection of wood extends to the mahogany and ash used to complete the body, as well as the maple and walnut neck, and jatoba fretboard. This wood combination gives this bass its incredibly balanced, super-rich, warm, and defined sound. To enjoy the absolute fullness of this foundation sound when amplified, a set of Bartolini BH2 pickups have been mounted and paired with insanely extensive active tone controls, that can be tweaked to ensure that your sound is always punching through the mix. The BTB5 neck extends through the body for maximum resonance and has a more than satisfying feel in the fret-hand, while the body has also been designed for comfort so it sits snug against your own body. In short, the BTB845 bass is an utterly committed instrument for the utterly committed bassist.
