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. Their ability to build small-shop quality into inspiring yet affordable instruments is showcased by BTB series basses.

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. All components of the Ibanez BTB1605E are interdependent, working together toward a superior performance: The Mono-Rail IV Bridge is the ultimate in string isolation for bass, which features a saddle lock system that maximizes stability and focuses vibration transfer.

Nordstrand "Big Single" pickups provide the clarity of single coil pickups, while the large body gives players a full and aggressive tone. The active 3-Band EQ features fully independent bass, treble and mid controls with a wide boost/cut range, as well as a mid frequency switch fine-tuned specifically for the BTB. The preamp system is equipped with a mid-frequency select switch, enabling you to instantly select 250Hz and 600Hz -- the heart of the mid zone -- for a more dynamic and ideal tone.
