Without a doubt, your instrument should equal the quality of your effort. At some point the word "boutique" comes to mind: Select-grade materials, neck-thru construction, and top quality components, all in a meticulously crafted instrument. But what about the price? That's where Ibanez comes in. Our ability to build small-shop quality into inspiring yet affordable instruments is showcased by BTB series basses.
35-inch Scale Neck The BTB's extra-long 35-inch neck scale offers tight, even tension with no flopping on the low end, and added sustain on the high strings. It also provides superior articulation, making it perfect for 7-string. Neck-through Construction Neck-through construction provides massive sustain and excellent stability. Deep Cutaway The BTB's much deeper cutaways allow effortless access to the upper frets. Jatoba Fretboard Jatoba has a reddish brown color which produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end. Stainless steel frets The stainless steel frets are known for their bright tone, and they add player-friendly features, such as long durability and a smoothness to bend on. Zero fret A "zero" fret provides accurate intonation, while allowing open strings to ring with the same resonance as notes played up the neck. 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. Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/Mid frequency switch The Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/3-way mid-frequency switch offers tonal variations that enhance simple chord work as well as complex soloing. Mono-rail V bridge The Mono-rail V is the ultimate bridge for bass string isolation. Each bridge is independently and securely locked down to the body for maximum vibration transfer without interference. Secure high-tech Neutrik® locking output jack Neutrik® locking jack provides stable and secure connections, preventing accidental disconnect or shock and vibration.
