General

Freshly crafted in the Ibanez Bass Workshop, the EHB1005SMS is an electric 5-string headless bass that's been built to offer players modern playability and a short, multi-scale fretboard. The unique, fan-like lay-out of the frets not only ensure the perfect tension for the high and low strings, but combine with a scale length that runs form 30 inches to 32 so that even more short-limbed bassists are able to comfortably lay down the bass lines.

The EHB1005SMS: Ergonomic Playing Experience & A Fully Amplified Low-End

It's not just the stable, graphite-reinforced 5-piece neck that's responsible for the undeniably snug playing feel of this EHB Series bass. The ergonomic design of the lightweight body actually plays an equally important role here and can be comfortably hugged. So that the EHB1005SMS tightly and accurately amplifies the entire mid-range in full, Ibanez have mounted two Bartolini BH2 pickups alongside a 3-band EQ with vari-mid switch and balance and volume pots. Conveniently, whenever no equalisation is needed, the system can be simply switched off via the treble push-pull control.

Ibanez EHB1005SMS Bass Workshop Emerald Green Metallic Matte 5-String Headless Electric Bass with Gig Bag
Wrote the following about Ibanez EHB1005SMS Bass Workshop Emerald Green Metallic Matte 5-String Headless Electric Bass with Gig Bag
Cette basse est une bombe !
C'est ma première short scale, mais pas ma première 5 cordes, et je dois dire que je suis bluffé par l'équilibre de la basse et par la qualité du manche.
L'électronique avec les micros Barto est satisfaisante, même si ça peut manquer d'un peu de punch. Ca se retravaille facilement avec quelques effets.
Bref, j'étais séduit par son look, je suis conquis par les multiples possibilités de jeu qu'elle offre. Je la recommande sans hésiter.

Te gekke bas, klinkt goed, speelt heerlijk. Enige min puntje: 'luminescent side dots' is wel onzin. Dit werkt volgens het principe zoals bij een horloge, je hebt eerst daglicht nodig en als het dan donker wordt, dan geven ze 'licht'. Heel leuk, maar daar heb je niet zoveel aan, dit werkt erg slecht.
