Ibanez BTB1805 Natural Low Gloss 2017 5-String Electric Bass Guitar

This is an Ibanez BTB1805 5-string Electric Bass guitar in Natural Low Gloss. Made in Indonesia in 2017 this guitar features a neck-thru construction consisting of a 9-piece Wenge/Bubinga/Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard, Ash wings and Rosewood top and back. Other features include Mono-rail V bridge and Gotoh GB707. A pair of Aguilar DCB pickups are fitted and wired to an Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ, pickup balancer, master volume, EQ bypass switch and 3-way mid-frequency toggle.

The 9-piece Wenge/Bubinga/Maple ‘BTB5’ neck profile allows you to navigate the Rosewood fingerboard with ease, allowing for comfortable reach in all registers and promoting ergonomic thumb positioning. The 35” radius provides a comfortable playing surface and with the 1.85” nut width allows for ease of different techniques such as slap bass or chordal playing. The Low Gloss finish is fantastic for smooth, quick transitions up and down the neck whilst the double cutaway body design allows the player to have unobstructed access to the entire register.

The pair of passive Aguilar DCB pickups installed in this bass work in conjunction with the on-board preamp to deliver an incredibly versatile range of sounds. There is a great fundamental bass tone with the controls at their midpoints, producing a warm and powerful low end, clear mids and sparkling top end that captures the attack of your playing. The rest of the extensive controls provide ample tone-sculpting opportunities, allowing you to craft the perfect sound for almost any musical setting, as well as tweaking whilst playing. Perfect for the contemporary working musician who demands quality and versatility.
