About this model

Rosewood fretboard: Rosewood provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

5pc Roasted Maple/Walnut neck: The Roasted Maple neck is heat-treated to increase stability, durability, moisture resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.

Medium frets: Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes.

Okoume body: The Okoume body provides a bright and solid sound.

Bartolini® BH2 pickups: The Bartolini® BH2 pickups provide a tight bottom-end, punchy mid-range, and smooth response. The dual-coil style configuration maximizes articulation and a long blade pole piece widens the magnetic field, providing balanced string-to-string pickup response.

MR5S bridge: The MR5S bridge has adjustable saddles for variable string spacing by +/- 1.5mm, answering every bassist’s specific string spacing needs.

Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch & Mid frequency switch: Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ is our latest refinement on the concept of simple, straightforward, no-nonsense EQ control. The Boost and Cut for the Mid Control are each centered on slightly different frequencies, an innovation that delivers a preset range of the most favorable bass tones. Precision tonal control, including a switch to choose passive-only operation. When the EQ bypass is activated, the treble tone control knob becomes the global tone control for the passive circuit.
