The BTB Series provides all the features, quality and sound of a boutique bass with one significant omission: no expensive boutique price tag. Everything else is here: the pickups are passive, the body is full, and the neck is substantial. For 2003 Ibanez added the even more affordable BTB300 for players who prefer the size, feel and tension of a standard 34 in. scale neck.

Have you seen the headlines?"Guitar rock is back."
Ibanez is happy to hear it. Except at Ibanez, guitar rock never "left" - and if you're the type of player who reads Ibanez catalogs, you've been too busy playing guitar or bass to worry a whole lot about the media's take on music. However, the papers are right about one thing: there are more new guitar and bass guitar styles than ever before. That's why there are more different kinds of guitars and basses in the 2003 Ibanez line up.
